For Jack Daw and everybody else.
My house is placed on a south west facing hill, 530m above sea level and
it is rather good protected against cold winds.

Musa dwarf orinoco, it's a present that was cut off from the mother plant and went strait into my ground in may. My expirience with dwarf orinoco is, that they're rooting very slowly!

Dwarf Brazilian, this one I like the most. It is planted in a iron basket. I hope it will come through winter easier this way. I did the same with d.orinoco above.
There at the side you can see one of my most expensive plants. Yes it's the little one. It is a hybrid palm, butia capitata x parajubaea cocoides.

Chamaeorops humilis, it has been cut back by frost already a few times. At the back Eriobotrya japonica, very hardy at a protected place.

Lagerstroemia indica, my new comer and will be planted out next spring.

2 x Punica granatum, I grow from seed approx. 8 years old, started blooming this year for the first time. Jack if you like some new ones let me know.
2 x mirabilis jalapa 'four o'clock flower', beautiful plant! one trachy from ticino.

Sabal minor, lost all the leaves last winter. Yucca aloifolia at the back.

Different shady loving plants at my north east side of the house includeed trachys.

Here a close up of the trachys.

Ficus carica'nero' from ticino. Phyllostachys dulcis 'sweet bamboo' at the back.

Some new trachys and grapes I dug out on my short holiday in ticino this week. That's the way all of my trachys came to me except the naini tal.

Blueberries, Fig tree and apple tree

Asimina triloba (Paw paw) 'sunflower'

Another ticino trachy between the bamboos.

Paw paw 'overlese'

Overlese from the front. The fruits look very similar to green mangoes.

A beautiful blooming passion flower.

Actinitia arguta 'ambrosia grande', new planted this spring.

Chamaerops humilis 'cerifera' together with the old grape that goes half around my house. Beside a Aloysia citrodora.

Jubaea chiliensis

Jubaea with another ticino trachy in the front.

Overlook with my new pergola

Trachycarpus fortunei 'nainital'

Musa sp yangtse, after two years in the ground then some years in the ground/pot in winter, now back in the ground again and there will it stay.

Actinidia chinensis or deliciosa 'kiwi gold'

Albizzia julibrissin

Avocado tree

Overlook

Lagenaria leucantha longissima (Kalebasse), Jack this is the vegetable plant I have sent to you. How is yours doing?

Another two fig trees

Here my friends and egg producer.

So that's it! I'm tired!
