Walking inside the grove is an amazing experience. Like being in your own tropical jungle. I’ll be checking them this morning. I think the drops happened because its been very cold the last few nights.

“Like being in your own tropical jungle.”

I went on vacation to Hawaii one March and when I came back I was determined to make part of my garden a ‘Tropical Paradise’ that year but with plants that would grow in Zone 5.

It was a fun project and worked out well. Lots of Elephant Ears and Canna Lily, Castor Bean plants and various colored Amaranth.

It wasn’t the SAME, but it was close. :)

I get a sort of "mini-effect" like that under my (now huge) Opo plant. :-)

If I'd planned it better from the start, I could probably have a 15' x 15' area with nothing overhead but Opo plant.
