Today's video is a March update on some of my favourite exotic plants with big leaves in my UK tropical style jungle garden - unwrapping the Gunnera manicata / x cryptica 'Giant Rhubarb', Musa basjoo hardy banana plants and also my experimental and rare Musa 'Tibet' plant protected only with fleece bags. I look at how well they've survived the winter wet, freezes and frosts and talk about spring care tips including tidying the plants up, feeding and preparing for another summer of big growth and jungle leaves!
