Usual resolution for me... no more plants - I already have too many, too many for the space and too many to look after.
I never seem to learn though.

That's correct and you have to be lucky with a Washy as well, larger ones stand a better chance of survival outside.
Daves one is an enigma, mine comes inside overwinter.

I have killed a few, they are not hardy...
Not very common because they don't survive over winter, beautiful plants though.
Sorry to be so pessimistic............

You won't like the prices for Tree ferns.
Other stuff is good & a good price.

You must have a bigger garden than the rest of us!

Me again... I have had them growing for years in baskets in the conservatory, had the plants before I knew what a dragon fruit was. Had fruits start to form but never let them mature, may let a few go this time as its flowering at the moment. Never kept them outside as I assumed it to be a no hoper ...

They are all potted but some of pots are quite big, they come inside the conservatory for the winter. The lemon is about 4' and bushy, kumquat is a 6' standard, both are fruiting size. Your lemon will need to be trained & pruned, you'll have to decide what structure you want and act accordingly,...

Me, I grow citrus!
Aspirations to grow the fruit to make marmalade or lemoncurd with, its a personal challenge.

Have a lemon, a kumqat & kaffir lime tree, but that is mostly for the leaves in Thai curries.

On the look out for a calamondin orange but at a reasonable price.... one day.

I bought an immature three leaf Philly in 1985, still have it and like said before they grow huge. Its an impressive plant, nigh in impossible to kill but after all these years, its like part of the furniture. Spends the summer outside and then does a tour inside, by spring its looking like it needs...

Not confident enough yet to buy them yet, but wouldn't mind growing them from seed. You'd be better to buy one, they take seven years from seed. Had a few, killed most of them. The current specimen survives on my kitchen windowsill, grows leaves, sometimes pitchers start to form but never mature. :(

I was disappointed with the first episode, M onty & wildflower meadows, yawn...
Hope the rest are better.

My treeferns are all still outside, fronds aren't frosted and they are still pushing out new croziers, Cyatheas included.
T-rexs still have their leaves as well, so far so good I am not complaining.

Mine are still scented, in the conservatory and we have plenty of flowers.
