Tropical Gardening

This is what I have achieved so far in the cold UK! 
The bananas are wrapped in situ through the winter, and most of the other plants are protected with mulch if needed. The super tender plants are brought into the polytunnel. This photo was from September 2023. 
What are you growing?!

THIS IS IN THE UK?!!?!?

should be obv but nothing i say is financial advice. i have no idea what i’m doing or how i got here, probably added by a third party 

The reality of growing bananas (Musa basjoo) in the UK through the winter... (assuming you want to keep the height) Wrapping!

Wrapped with straw and fleece, then a rain cap/protection over the top to stop it getting totally soaked and rotting. 

Wrapping stops the pseudostems turning to mush if there is a freeze.

Hey! 
I wrap them through the winter, so none of it freezes. 
They are technically 'root hardy' so will survive a freeze usually, but I wrap them to keep the height into the next year. The stems just turn to mush otherwise! I posted a pic of them wrapped here:

i keep all my plants indoors bc unfortunately i live in a cold climate 😩

if i were to plant my banana outside, do you have to worry about roots freezing in the winter and killing it? that’s kinda been my concern
