I have to say a big thank you for posting this video. Albeit a 3 hour round trip from south Essex but I came away with a car load of plants including like you the Albiza and as well as a trio of Chamaerops Cerifera
Great deal on those Chamaerops, that would be hard to turn down. For your small pond, I would recommend staying away from any type of goldfish, as they are messy things and will out grow that space. I would suggest Mosquito fish, if you just want something to eat mosquito larvae. If you want something with a more color, there are several varieties of Medaka aka Japanese Rice Fish that have been bred to be viewed from above, so they are kind of like mini koi although not a carp, but a species of Killifish. Another option I would consider would be Rainbow Shiners (Notropsis chrosomus). All three of these can tolerate quite cool to cold temps and the Mosquito fish and Medaka can take very hot temps as well. I think I should warn you about the Albizia, It's not a tree I would ever recommend. I had a pretty big one at my last place and what I can say is that they are the last to leaf out, first to drop leaves, not nearly as drought tolerant as claimed, and worst of all are the flowers. They are so messy and sticky, they cling to all of the plants and it takes a lot of work to continually clean them off. They make a total mess of your garden. Fine in a field, but not great for a small space like yours with such dense planting. I thought they were great trees until I had one. Just my two cents.
I do like albizia. Underrated plant I think. Its got the look. I have 3, one of them chocolate. One of the green keeps turning yellow and dropping leaves, but the other two are doing fine. I'm already looking forward to next year. Down to 2 degrees again last night. So much hasn't fulfilled its potential this year. Just hoping the winter is short and mild. Keep the vids coming thanks.
Yucca elephantipes ( bought as a houseplant) have thrived in my garden for 3 years with -4 temperatures but only got a few tip damages in the worst winters. They are a lot hardier than what rhs said (they should at least be H3)

@@essexhognose1808 I'm glad you found some plants you wanted. I imagine the stock must be getting low now at them prices.

@stanleygladstone1210 I have to admit, I gave up with this year. But looking forward to next year.
I have the same yucca in a pot and its two years old. It lives in the conservatory in the winter and has thrived this year.

@ryanacar3773 The plain green are hardier than the variegated ones but yes they are tough plants 👍
@jimspalmsuk5098 I planted one variegated in ground this spring I'll see how it goes.
@ryanacar3773 I've got a variegated one in the garden which was fine for 3 years . December 22 took it to the ground. Growing back nicely now 👍
