How ironic. Everything that was abandoned to the elements or rather haphazardly covered with fleece is fine and dandy (except the proteas but we don't talk about them). The two Ensete "Maurelii" bananas and Cyathea australis (although there's some suggestion that it might have been C. cooperi) are mush. They were the ones I wrapped up with paper shreddings and fleece.
Squidgy, rotten and a bit stinky. Bugger. And the tree fern doesn't seem much better. I've chucked some fungicide over them all in the hope that something is alive and non-mushy in the depths of the soil.
The bananas were spares given to me by HTUK people, so I feel guilty for completely failing to look after them sufficiently well, but the tree fern hurts badly. It was a nice big one, although it didn't have a trunk.
No photos as they would be too distressing.
