Urban Jungle Newsletter September 2005

Tree Ferns Dicksonia antarctica NEW CONTAINER HAS ARRIVED

We're busy planning ahead for next year and will be stocking a much larger range of palms, succulents, cannas and new and really unusual perennials. Over the winter we will be extending our sales areas. Our new catalogue should be ready later in the year.

Winter protection
Many proud owners of exotics become rather twitchy at this time of year. Although the weather has been beautiful recently, night-time temperatures can start to drop dramatically at this time of year and some of you will be really concerned as to when to give protection. As a rule hardy bananas, cannas, gingers etc. can tolerate mild frosts and the longer they are left unprotected the better. For example we wait until our banana trees have had several good frostings and the leaves are really black before we wrap them Last year we didn't protect them until the very end of November. Take a look at our website for detailed instructions.

If you haven't visited the nursery for a while we are sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the developments. We have added new display borders this year and the murky swamp we called the Koi pond is now crystal clear and full of really huge fish.Why not pay us an autumn visit?

Really hope to see you soon
Malcolm and Liz

  • Keeping your plants, flowers and trees protected from snow and winds in winters is really an issue. It starts with a headache and ends in dispair. Maybe I can get a few good tips from you on how to protect my shrubs from cold this year.
