Thee are getting huge now but still need wrapping up for winter. The best way is to just chop the leaves off and then cover the centre crown with the leaves. I usually leave this until November but as I had a spare half an hour this week\u00a0I&#8217;ve done it already. It meant that the leaves were still nice and healthy and will form a good insulating blanket to protect the crown from the winter frosts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-23088 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Gunnera\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Gunnera.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23093'>\n\t\t\t\tGunnera\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Wrapped up for Winter\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-23094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Wrapped-up-for-winter.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-23094'>\n\t\t\t\tWrapped up for Winter\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>It looks a little bare where the Gunnera was now and it make it feel as though winter is on its way.
