Hi George good to see your garden in the autumn. as for protecting banana tree , all i do is let mine die back and let the leaves be its naturall protection as they fall around the plant. ive had actual bananas fruiting on mine for a few tears now. little bunches form behind a big flower head. unfortuanaly the plant dies of once flowered but by this time its had loads of other little plants growing. My garden this year has gone absolutly bonkers combination of the wet and i tried that 6x fertiliser you mentioned Wow what a show. take care Barry from sunny dorset.
Hi Barry and thanks - nice one on your bananas! No bananas or flowers here yet but this was only a 2lt plant 3 years ago so still a young one. Up here they'd be just fine without protection during a milder winter but to keep the height during a colder winter I think protection is beneficial. I'm pleased to hear your garden is growing well despite the cooler summer - lots of rain and a rich soil can certainly get things moving! Thanks for commenting and all the best.
Don't worry. When the kids get to teenage / early adulthood that's golden gardening age for dads. I spend about 80% of my free time in there and the other 20% is cramping the families style.
Haha yes James, that's what it's all about. I'm pleased I got a lot of the palms and bamboo plants etc in when I did, I like seeing how everything is developing despite not 'gardening' a huge amount currently. I know it'll be there for me when I need it! And yes, I've been cramping other people's style for years so I'll be well practiced for those opportunities in the future! Thanks for letting me know it'll come back round again and I hope you have a great weekend hiding out in your garden.
Hello George just came across your Channel I absolutely love your Tree Ferns my favorite I only have 2 Ferns they so easy I cut one in half share with my friend in less than a week grow new leafs it's very sunny here in Cape Town please make the same video just with the music you played in the background love it I'll watch over and over Soo relaxing thank you garden friend
Hi and thank you very much for your kind words - great to meet another fern fan from across the world! Thanks for the idea and feel free to watch this one muted with your choice of music over the top. I think in these speaking vids I tend to focus on the plants I'm talking about too long to make it a flowing music-only vid but I will try to make longer non-speaking videos in the future for those of you who enjoy them and find them relaxing. Thanks again for commenting and all the best.
Was nice to see your garden again. Your jungle section is still great and you have so many beautiful tree ferns one of my top 5 tropical jungle plants. I understand how it is to be busy with a family, my wife & I raised 4 boys now all in there 30’s. Thanks again for all the other gardens you have shared with us this past year
Thanks for the tour. I think your garden has really filled out in several areas this year. I think your Gunnera can definitely be trained a little with a small wall and some support. It'll be a interesting little project to see the results at the end of next season. That's if you have time juggling work, kids, dogs, etc, etc.
Hi George, we have been watching all of your garden visits. However, it is wonderful to finally see your garden, all looking lush and green. Hope you are also going to find time to finish the fire pit. Best wishes.
Very happy to be back to your Jungle George. Looking really great! The visit of the rest of the garden coming soon i guess...It's definitetly the year of tree ferns and Trachycarpus spp. The huge Princess (I mean Princeps...) is a Queen now! A lot of gorgeous plants here, so i will name only one, the ultinate cutie/beauty Fargesia angustissima! Thank you George, see you!🙋♂💚
George your garden is great. It just takes time. You have a family and they come first. You will have time to work on your garden in years to come. Maybe you can introduce your daughter to gardening and she can help you. Don't get in a hurry.
Great to see your Garden again George. Hoping you'll do another fire pit area your soon. I hope that tree fern pulls through for you. It's really hard to get them back when they start declining
Great video George... your garden really does look amazing !!! and like you, I like the way it changes as the season comes to an end For me, this is only the second year of growing a Tropical Style garden, and I want to thankyou and your videos for opening up this whole new hobby to me👍
Omg, FRIST! Hi Geprge, you amd so.eothers in the UK have been a tremendous inspiration to meover a year and a half. Ow, soI've been slowly delving into a tropical jungle gadenhere in France, about an hour ana half by car south east of Paris, Zone 8b.. Love your videos! Cheers, Leesa in France.
Thank you so much Leesa and I hope all is going well with your garden! I'm pleased to hear I've had any part in inspiring you and others, hopefully we all have a kind winter and can get on with planning and looking ahead to what we're doing out there next year!
Hi George - as always so great to get another video from you and one of your own garden! I have loved the summer visits to other gardens you did! I have to say, I have been following you from since before you moved house, but this year with all the rain and occasional sun it really feels like your garden has really established in to itself! I think I remember the part where your bench is was for a greenhouse that didn't amount to anything sadly, but i do remember you planting all that up around it in readiness. Just goes to show how buying small and having patience returns dividends! I cannot grow Coleus or Queen Victoria Lobelia. I have tried and the slugs just decimate them by the morning. Even Tall brugmansia and Salvia Aamistad I can find decimated in the morning. I'd welcome your advice or opinion on pest control at some point please. I am thinking about nemetodes. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the garden next year and the fire pit!
Great to see an update George! I can't believe just how much everything has filled out and all those tree ferns look spectacular! You've really created a great atmosphere in the garden now. Look forward to seeing what next year brings with the changes and additions.
Hi george. Fantastic vid. When it started off going into your jungle and the music started i thought that maybe you were going to suprise everyone with an orchestra sitting there casually playing under yer gunnies and ferns.🤣
Great video George, love all the tree ferns especially. I look forward to seeing how your other garden projects are progressing at both ends of the garden when you get some time x
Hi, they generally start off like that and it's not a bad thing because it means you've got a good amount of light and haven't packed your plants in too close. By year 3 or 4 the pseudostem will be significantly taller and with longer leaves!
Thank you very much, looking back it really is quite incredible how fast the smaller palms and bamboo etc have grown and really made it feel completely different. I'm sure you'll have a full on jungle soon enough!
Great update on the garden George, can I ask you ,do you leave the gingers in the ground over winter . I planted in 12 ginger rhizomes in April in pots to start them then transferred them to the garden however none of them flowered due to or rubbish summer here in Dublin as we had little or no heat and not a lot of sun. Thanks
Thanks Matt! I will be leaving these gingers in the ground (for their first winter) and I actually chose them because they're known for being an easier ginger - hardier and earlier-flowering than most so less reliant on a warm summer which is a big factor in our shady garden. Hopefully yours flower next year but what I've found is that young plants or new bits of rhizome can take a few years to flower, plants in the ground can take longer to bulk up than those given a headstart in a greenhouse or polytunnel and also as you've mentioned, it's been a cool and often grey summer. With some more patience I think they'll come good but my compromise is that I've leaning towards easier gingers in the ground and then I grow others in pots to give them an earlier start and I'm able to protect them better in winter.
Hi george , just a quick question- ive removed the flower from all my fatsias,as i understand they can give dogs bad tummy problems if they eat them. Have i done the right thing ?Cheers mate, looking foward to seeing yer garden transfirm in new year.👍 All the best . Steve.
Hi Maria and thanks. The honest answer is probably not as much as you'd expect but more than most garden styles when it's hot and dry in summer. I haven't watered the Gunnera much this past year other than during the drier summer spells and they're usually the first plants to show browning on the leaves - there hasn't been any this year. The tree ferns do require more regular watering - not wet soil and huge amounts of water, but a higher frequency of misting almost. During a drier year, the big leaved plants like bananas definitely require regular summer watering but most of the structural plants like the palms and bamboo are quite tolerant of drier periods now they're established.

nice to see how everythings growing George that princeps hybrid is something else now ,it really is a stunning looking palm.
Thanks a lot Shane! It'll be amazing to see how the feel of your garden changes as your palms quickly size up!
Was nice to see your garden again. Your jungle section is still great and you have so many beautiful tree ferns one of my top 5 tropical jungle plants.

Your jungle side with those tree ferns is INCROYABLE!
Thanks, I'm so pleased you like it - they're one of my favourite plants!
George the garden is looking well for the time of year and the Tree ferns and palms are looking awesome. Keep up the good work mate 👍

Thank you so much, they're certainly one of my favourite plants!
@GeorgesJungleGarden Mone too :-)
Still looking great.
Thank you very much Geoff, it's grown nicely (by itself!)

I’ve been waiting for your next clip 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nice, I was waiting for a garden update :) will watch it later today
Thanks, sorry it's been a while haha!
Hi george. Fantastic vid. When it started off going into your jungle and the music started i thought that maybe you were going to suprise everyone with an orchestra sitting there casually playing under yer gunnies and ferns.🤣
Sorry ! All the best steve.
Wonderful George
Hi George. Great video, as always. How is the bottom of the garden coming on? I'm looking forward to an update .👍
Great video George, love all the tree ferns especially. I look forward to seeing how your other garden projects are progressing at both ends of the garden when you get some time x
Great video George, looking forward to what your going to do, your garden is beautiful 😊
Haha yeah those Lobelia are weepy wimps😆. Yours still are more upright than mine though, so it could be worse😋
Oh dear, yours must basically be ground cover then!
@@GeorgesJungleGarden sounds about right😂
Why is my ensete maurelii short and fat?😅 is there a way to encourage it to grow upwards rather than outwards?
Hi, they generally start off like that and it's not a bad thing because it means you've got a good amount of light and haven't packed your plants in too close. By year 3 or 4 the pseudostem will be significantly taller and with longer leaves!
You are literally George of the jungle
Nice to see your garden again George still very impressive, hope to achieve something similar in years to come.
Thank you very much, looking back it really is quite incredible how fast the smaller palms and bamboo etc have grown and really made it feel completely different. I'm sure you'll have a full on jungle soon enough!

The tree fern at 29:42 is not doing very well because the ivy behind it deprives it of the rain and absorbs all the water it needs!
