    Brilliant Inter, if I were you id wait a couple of weeks and B&Q Will be reducing them, Mine was £24.99. If you decide to get one from there, have a good look at them bcos there's different sizes for the same price.. :)..


    Look At The Size of my BANANA Now..Woohoo..:D

    Do they survive outside all year then? I have see them in Wilkos that just look like tree stumps, no leaves at all, are they dead?

    Tree ferns will survive outside all year with a little protection,the stumps are not dead you probably saw them a bit earlier in the year before the fronds started to emerge they were a bargain price from wilko's.

    Dee your Tropical Garden looks Fantastic. It reminds me of my time that i lived in The Dominican Republic with the Palm Trees. :) A Banana Tree would be good as you can't beat picking your own Bananas. We had 6 Banana Trees so there was always one that was bearing fruit. Enjoy.:thumb:

    Dee looks really really good. I missed your TF posting, but yes rain and a little food goes a long way to good and regular frond development. More water the better.:thumb:
