My Central Asia Garden Fall Update

Got some inspiration today. As a result a few pictures of my garden. There are not so many palms in my garden. Too cold for them. Sorry for that...

Newly bought Acuba with a darkgreen glossy leaves:

Aucuba itself is an extremely rare grown plant in my area. This one my favorite for a couple of decades

It's height is about 4-5 feet.

Banana (not sure if it's basijo)

The same plant pic was taken a couple of weeks ago

More pictures... No palms so far....

Fatsia. New growth of the plant on right side has damaged a little bit after -4C frost a week ago. Both of these two plants were not damaged after this last extremely cold winter being covered with a wheat straw and some snow above

These two small fig trees survived with no evident damage after last harsh winter being covered with a very thin straw layer.

My front yard is very unusually looking for Kazakhstan 'cos normally people in Central Asia grow their plants behind the high break walls.

I have 7+ meters Gingko tree grown from the seed since 1987. This year the leaves got the fall coloration.

I have a few species of Ivy but only Hedera helix Baltica thrives on the wall with some leaves damage in winter. Perhaps it wouldn't be damaged to be growing on the north facing walls.

Here they are... (Some, two only :bootyshake:)

Kalopanax septemlobus is grown on Aralia elata roots so it wouldn't be a huge tree in a future.

Just some trees and shrubs in my garden

Lonicera Dropmore Scarlet has a very long period of blooming from May to the end of October

My Trachies look no too bad

This Phormium is going inside for overwintering

Finally

This bamboo does pretty well in my climate but doesn't produce thick and high calms

Pisita, this water weed. Never mind, it's just for fan.

Yes, Sorbus and Larch var. Diana. Love these two trees.

Same Sorbus...

Newly purchased yucca plants to be overwintering in cold greenhouse

Thanks for your time (can not put the pictures into the post as you do, guys!)

A few more pics:

These EE plants were collected in a pond not far from Huston, TX in 2008. They are supposed to be overwintered along with the Gunnera plant which was survived last winter in my garden.

Parthenocissus henriana plant which was purchased in London last year.

Yes, Tim, it is a Fatsia. These two plants are entering into the second winter in a row.

Great shots! Is the red stripped plant a yucca or a grass? (original post, above the word finally)

Igor ... i believe the pic is a Kalopanax Pictus and a nice one too. 😀 The other red striped plant looks like Phormium Tenax Pink stripe ? Will that survive your Winter Igor?
Favourite picture for me has to be the Sorbus and larix autumn colour combination. Ooops I mean Fall Color Combination. A tough job translating English to American 😉
I see you have cut the leaves of the Bananas. Are you leaving the stem in situ with protection?

Hey, Igor, how are all your little potted plants doing?
You had lots of yuccas if I recall.

Didn't see any photos of them.

Dear All, thanks to everyone for your comments!
In order to make the pics viewing easier inserted my short comments above each pic link.
Andy, you are right about Phormium plant. It comes inside of my house soon. As for "aralia plants" I have both either Fatsia (two plants) and kalopanax septemlobus. You could check with my newly arranged posts.
Jim, my EE plants got a lot of extremely cheap water every summer. I pay about 100 USD per season for unlimited irrigation water use.
Barb, you are welcome visiting my garden as many times as you want! My yucca seedling are doing good. No time for picturing them... You won't enjoy seeing a bulk pots picture, will you?
Bruce, thanks for warm words....

Thanks, buddy! It's nothing special - a Horse Chestnut. It has been growing from the seed from 1989, from a year when my daughter was born. 😀
