Tropical Garden Backyard - Knoxville

I drive by that place about everyday. I've seen that place transformed over the last few years. It's sort of in an odd location as it's in the front yard, right on the road. It would be better in the back yard IMO but as the article stated they had to work around some land features.

Why spend money on all that stuff when you can have the dopest Block T yard ornament in Knox County?

It'd be better in the back yard because it looks like crap in the front.

how do they get the banana trees to survive the winter and do they produce? I like trees that you get food from :)

Technically not trees although often referred to as such. It's actually an herbaceous plant that produces fruit only once and then the pseudostem(not a trunk) dies back but not before growing a new root. I'm guessing they don't actually get them to produce fruit here since it takes 10 to 15 months of 60+ degree weather to do it.

Like I said, I drive by about everyday and have never seen fruit on them. Never even a start.

lots of plants called 'annuals' here are actually considered perennials in tropical climates bc of year round sun.

not sure about bannana plants but the others like lime can be grown inside. i can tell you this, citrus plants do NOT like frost. the entire crop can be lost and tree killed.
