Bananaman's November Hideout

Oooooh!! Bananaman! That's all I can say - rather late in sending my message re. your fabulous garden et al, but I am a newie and still exploring the vastness of this site! Loved scrolling through your piccies - absolutely lovely!

 

Hi susannah, glad you like BM's Hideout, its ever changing and ever growing. This time of year is like a huge deforestation exercise ! :D

BM,

Are you the real Bananaman ???

I love your garage door BTW

 

Does look spiffing

 

Thanks Garden Gnome and Growmore, installed by our very own Webmaster Nathan :D

Of course I am the real bananaman but when I am off duty you can call me eric

 

Looks as if they've tracked you down eric

 

Acacia Drive, is it?..... Seems fitting for all those exotics! Do you have any, BM? Can't recall seeing any, but I'm rather overwhelmed by all these photosof lush leafy bananas, and the like, that my memory is a bit dodgy...... Or maybe it's just old age! :D

 

I have 2 Acacia :D Yes Nick, looks like eric is being arrested by the 2 heavies behind.

 

gee wizz bananaman your pics are fantastic! Thanks for the detailed eplanation of the flower/fruit. Your garden's super...must take you a lot of time & patience, but what a reward.. thanks again

 

The plant on the right of the last pic BM.Is it one of those japanese maples?.Im no good at plant names.Whatever...i just love it.Is it always that colour?Ive admired them from afar in nuseries etc, (they are so expensive).
Your place always looks great BTW bananaman.

 

My pleasure dixy, any excuse !

elainefiz, was this the photo ? the red leafed tree is a prunus nigra (pink blossom cherry)I descibe it as an 8/4 as it is either in flower or leaf 8 months of the year and only rests for 4 months. Recently it has proved to be more of a 9/3 and is a great for almost constant interest. Its one of the first to arrive and always the last to leave.



If is not the one, save and post it again and I will have a look.

Hi Bananaman! I think I must have just chopped down one of those 'prunus nigra'(pink blossom cherry) from my front garden - but we have another in the back - really beautiful trees.
(see Trees - removing roots/stumps?) I too, like elainefiz, know very few 'real' plant names!
