Tropical Style Garden Tour - December 2025

Welcome to my December 2025 UK tropical-style garden tour, filmed in Yorkshire. In this video, I take you through the garden at the very start of winter to see how a wide range of exotic and architectural plants are coping with colder temperatures. Despite being mid-winter, the garden still holds structure and interest, with evergreen foliage, hardy palms, bananas, tree ferns, schefflera, fatsia, mahonia, hosta remains, and other subtropical plants providing shape and atmosphere. This tour focuses on winter resilience, planting choices, and how a tropical look can be maintained in a UK climate. If you are interested in UK exotic gardening, tropical plants that survive winter, or creating a lush, architectural garden in colder regions, this video will give you a realistic look at what works — and what struggles — at this time of year. 🌴 In this video: UK tropical garden in December Hardy palms, bananas, and evergreen exotics How the garden looks going into winter Structural plants that earn their keep year-round Realistic winter performance in a northern UK garden If you enjoy tropical-style gardens, monthly garden tours, and honest plant performance in the UK, consider subscribing to YorkshireTropics for regular updates throughout the year. 📸 Follow me on Instagram -   / yorkshiretropics
