@garymarshall1246 I personally ues 25% of each of the following. Garden soil, any good compost, perlite and sharp sand. Mixed really well. 👍

@garymarshall1246 I will be using a fleece bag on mine. But only on minus temperatures nights and taking it off again on plus figure days. I wouldn't recommend leaving wrapped for long periods. You may have problems with mould or rot.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 so next year you will place in ground your Butyagrus

@jimspalmsuk5098 can you advise me on preparing raised bed soil.. As everywhere is peat free and hardy palms said avoid peat free at all costs

@garymarshall1246 I personally would avoid planting it this time of year. I have put my potted butyagrus in my summerhouse for the winter. It will be fine in a sunny spot until you get minus temperatures, when you want to protect. Shed, garage, greenhouse or conservatory. Or if you have a sunny spot next to your house with an overhang. 👍

@PlantMad Not at all, it is right next to the house and gets full day sun in the winter. Seems to be fine 👍

@@geesgardeningclubuk5247 Agave americana varigated 👍

Thay can take cool temperatures but won't survive a uk winter. 😕

@ it… died?

@fansaaga4033 The big one I had died, I have a small one which has survived 2 winters in a unheated greenhouse.

@@jimspalmsuk5098 what temp took it out?

@fansaaga4033 A couple of -4c will do it. .

Trachycarpus are single trunk palms, so they will be 2 separate plants. 👍

Cheers ​@@jimspalmsuk5098

@@fansaaga4033 Very similar hardiness, phoenix canarianis foliage tends to hold up better in a freeze. But washingtonia will bounce back quicker in terms of faster regrowth 👍

@ so If my 40cm canary survived 3 years no damage i may have a chance right?

@fansaaga4033 I would say so, they will need a year round sunny position .

@@EastCoastTropicalGarden Update coming soon 👍

@davegreenthumb I drive through Gorleston a fair bit and I think I know the one you mean 👍 I'm in lowestoft and there are a few washingtonia about 10 foot + .

Have a look also on Church Road, just before the Chinese, huge one there

@@uranusneptun5239 Spot on 👍

@@dibblethwaite That's a good one 👍

@@albey1816Interesting, my small mountain queen took -6c 2 nights in a row with practically no damage. I was very surprised it did so well. We don't normally go that low in my area.

@jeromephilipon750 Hi, I am on Facebook (jims palms) 👍

@tdmciver1 Cheers mate, not looking to bad for the time of year 👍

@essexhognose1808 Most of my tender palms in pot's are in my shelter on slabs, which to a small extent absorb warmth day time and release during the night. If very cold for along period I will put a couple of layers of double wrap round and underneath the pot's. I wouldn't leave on all winter , as you need good drainage.

@@finnkel I will do a video on the subject soon 👍

@TropicalJungleIreland I have 2 in the ground 1 in the front garden and 1 in the back garden. The one in the front I do nothing to protect, and it seems fine every year. It is in full sun. The 1in the back garden I do put a rain/frost shelter over. It only gets a couple of hours of sun in the winter. They have both been in the ground for 5 years now, and still alive and growing well 👍

@@richf_tropical_garden_projects Most things are holding up well for this time of year 👍 I'm loving your new pond project looking fantastic 😃

@Plant_Mad_Paul Bananas I've found to be the hardest to germinate seed. Only managed it once but is very satisfying 👍

@markchitty6505 Size isn't everything, I consider myself lucky to have what do, I don't take it for granted. I'm still learning as I go, and love it 👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 ... same... learning all the time about gardening... keep those vids coming Jim 😁

@essexhognose1808 cooperii can survive a uk winter with protection, but will probably defoliate. For me just easier to keep potted and bring in each winter. 👍

@joannedarke7821 The problem with temu is the prices go up and down all the time. I bought the tarps 10 weeks ago, they took 8 weeks to arrive.

@essexhognose1808 Hi, it would depend on what type of palm and your location. If your talking trachycarpus or chamaerops, you can plant out at any size. Canary palm or washy, I'd keep in pot's and get some size on them first. Alternatively you could plant any out if your willing to protect them 👍

​@@jimspalmsuk5098 yep, I've got a few different Trachycarpus locales that I would want to get down next year. It might mean a few cloches or covers for a while but I'm on the Thames just outside a London so not too chilly in the grand scheme of things The small Butia, Brahea and Jubaea might have to wait a while as they might take a bit more forever home planning. What about the Sabals? Best to try and get them established in the ground to encourage growth?

@essexhognose1808 I have a lot of sabals and they are slow in our climate. I have 4 planted in the ground. Most of mine are in pot's in the greenhouse. Trying to get a bit more size on them before planting them out. They are hardy but need heat in the summer to get them growing well. 👍

@palmsexoticsuk2194 It done alright this year considering the poor growing season. A few changes to make next year, looking forward to it already 👍

@@cherylmart6338 Is it the persicaria red dragon?

@jeromephilipon750 I'm always up for plant swaps, and if anyone wants to come for a visit, I'm up for that 👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 A visit in late spring would be great 👍

@@benburgess3964 I'm lowestoft in Suffolk 👍

@essexhognose1808 The washingtonia has done well this year considering the rubbish summer. The leaves are pretty close to 4 foot.

Yeah that washy's definitely a belter 👌 only thing is it's probably less cold tolerant than the large cidp you have, got a 4 foot robusta out back, no clue as yet how I'm protecting it 🫣

@stephenkeeble6857 Keeping it dry will help, over head shelter really helps. That's all I do with mine 👍

@jimspalmsuk5098 cheers for the heads up Jim 👌👍🏝🏝

@rickyfox9797 They have done well this year, I did look at them in a video last week. Garden walk through. I leave the leaves on and wrap with fleece. It's gone through the last to winter's with no problems 👍

@jimspalmsuk5098 thanks for reply ... At what point (temps) would you start to think to wrap them? 😀 mine are in a big pot

@rickyfox9797 I won't do anything with mine until we due a frost. I will say I have lost these in pot's overwintering. They are easier to overwinter in the ground. But that might be just me 🤔

@jimspalmsuk5098 Thanks 😊 Do you have any colocasia plants do you leave them in all winter?

@rickyfox9797 I have lots of colocasia I leave in the ground. Will be doing videos on all sorts of over wintering tropicals over the next few weeks 👍

@@tedscott1478 I will dig them up before the first frost. Pot up in dry compost, cut all leaves off except the centre leaf. They live in the conservatory over winter light but cool , min temperature 4c 👍

@jimmyalvinewart6361 Most of the plants I buy are from local garden centre's. Some of the more unusual stuff I find online. Palms are normally from ebay, the plan centre or hardy palms. When I buy something of interest, I will always do a video on it 👍

@David_Banner Sounds like a good plan, there's loads of options out there for edging but the plants will take centre stage 👍

@jeromephilipon750 They will reduce them so, no doubt 👍

@palmsexoticsuk2194 Wasn't sure at first but I think I like it 🤔

@Plant_Mad_Paul I've had to put up a temporary fence up to stop the dog getting to it. He love to eat it for some reason 🤮

@cherylmartin6338 I have a worx battery powered lawn mower.

@@essexhognose1808 It certainly smells interesting in my garden at the moment 👍

@@jimspalmsuk5098 biggest problem I've got is that it's my front garden, thankfully it's not hot and summer with the windows open

@@essexhognose1808 you wouldn't want that.

@estherterrier6400 I'm already excited for spring so I can get stuck in 😃

@fansaaga4033 They are tender, I've had some outside for several winters and survive. But definitely not hardy, but in a unheated greenhouse and keep dry. If you live in a really mild area you can try, but it's a gamble.
