Anyone ever overwintered one?

Got this from work, early spring! was destined for the bin till I claimed it! Let me introduce you to my mate "Stumpy"



Never in a million years would I thought it would take! But take it did!

Now I know you should shove straw down its throat n wrap in fleece! Just wondered if anybody had a go at it?


Here he is full summer!


Of about ten minutes since!

Any thought's appreciated!

Can't help you but just wanted to say "Stumpy" is beautiful

Cheers Bren!

How ironic!

The long working day done, just catching up on "Beechgrove Garden" and the self same subject they covered! Sorted!

[Bren In Pots]

That's good that you're sorted Deano

Dicksonia antarctica, I do believe. Wrap it well - I use sheets of bubble wrap and an old sleeping bag. Worked well, so far!

Cheers G4!

"Stumpy" Is in a pot, so may do a circular column of chicken wire n stuff it with straw!

On the other hand! I could get my finger out of my backside, and build this wooden greenhouse sat in the garage all summer!

Personally I'd keep well away from bubble wrap as it won't allow it to breathe. I've always but a wire frame around it and stuffed it with straw but I could imagine the old sleeping bag would be good too.
