Today's video is a walking tour round my North Lincolnshire UK tropical style jungle garden talking about overwintering & winter care tips for my exotic garden plants. Featuring my big summer display leaves like Gunnera manicata, Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' and Musa basjoo banana plants plus Cannas, some of which come inside over winter, others in the polytunnel / greenhouse and others receive winter protection from leaves and fleece through to other exotics like hardy palms & Dicksonia antartica tree ferns which stay outside and may require protection during exceptional freezes and hard frosts as winter progresses. I hope a lot of the advice helps you out, especially if you've added new plants to your tropical garden this or are a beginner gardener just starting your jungle garden adventure! Please see my plant overwintering playlist for more plant-specific winter care guides and tips and as always, if you've got any questions about these or other plants, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP.
