Alternative species in our gardens
Hello, first of all i introduce myself:
I am a passionate gardening lover, and i like exotic plants and trees the most. Thats why i created a telegram account, where i show species that are unusual, which can grow in places we could never imagine. So if you are interested in discovering new species to build a diferente garden, just take a look.

Why stick to native species, when you could have the most beautiful plants all around the world ?

As you are new here, I’m afraid that I am not going to click on your link as I am always suspicious about links.
Please tell us where you are and maybe put a few photos upfor us to admire.
I live un valencia,spain.
Thats an example of a species i talk about.
The objective is just to show strange and beautiful trees and plants, which can be planted in our gardens.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Kind regards
And before anybody explains an app to me, I shall just say that it has been explained many times before and I am still none the wiser.😁
That tree also bears fruit, but it's from Brazil and wouldn't survive British winters, which is where most of the posters here are from.
A lot of the plants grown in British gardens were found in other countries by plant explorers. But, unless they are fairly hardy, they wouldn't survive unless their owners put them in a greenhouse in winter. Britain has an enormous selection of plants, largely thanks to the plant hunters in the Victorian era and later.
Personally I like the English garden and cottage garden style but a lot of people grow quite exotic plants and have quite jungly gardens.
Valencia has a much warmer climate than Britain. I live in SW France but here the winters can be very cold although the summers tend to be hot.
After 25 years in Belgium - long, cold, wet winters but also a wide variety of plants form around the world - I have moved to the Vendée which has milder, sunnier winters but also summer droughts. I can now grow all sorts of plants I wouldn't have tried in Belgium - as long as they can cope with drought or I can create more moist soil conditions. Bit of an experiment.
That is an interesting tree you show in the photo. Never seen one round here tho.
