But on those sunny days during the winter it would look better than the average British backyard, that looks half dead no?
My garden back in the UK has no deciduous plants in it at all & is full of exotic plants such as palms, yuccas etc.. Even during the winter it's nice to see it through the window, rather than a bare garden full of twigs & in the summer sitting outside on a warm summers evening drinking cocktails under the bananas is heaven
Not if the foliage would block out the precious sunlight when the sun doesn't rise high enough to clear the trees! No deciduous trees means no autumn leaves and spring blossoms = boring.
Fair play to him for putting that much work in, but can you imagine looking out of the window at something that looks like it should be in Thailand for months and months in the winter when it's 5C and gloomy and damp? I'd feel like it was mocking me.
Hahaha that palm is the little scrubby **** that's all along I-95.
But still that has got to be the most badass yard in England.
Kudos to the guy for putting hard work into this, but come on who is he kidding? You're still in Leeds, England. I bet his backyard looks pretty silly whenever Leeds gets a snowstorm.
Just because I plant a couple of Norway Spruces and Birches in my backyard, doesn't mean I'm magically going to be living in a subarctic climate. And this would look really silly and out of place in Tallahassee.
I actually think the garden is really nice, but it would look very inappropriate whenever it snows. Granted, we're not very snowy, but we have between 10 and 20 days of lying snow, and if it felt freezing, which it often does, it'd feel inappropriate as well.

What looks silly is a foot of dead leaves covering everything. I be he just sits in the garden and laughs at the neighbors raking in the fall.

A few beers and some hobbit style pipe weed under bananas in heavy rain, is nice. The flowers produce year round food for NZ nectar feeding birds, even if they don't produce edible fruit.
