Wave Hill Garden
The copper beech tree is so huge it would cover my whole lot. The photo doesn't do justice to how magnificant this tree is.
Wave Hill is a spectacular garden in Riverside the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. It was built in 1843 as a country home and in 1903 was purchased by the Perkins-Freeman family. The property was donated to the city of New York in 1960 and is maintained as a public garden.

More summer photos
You can grow banana trees in Seattle. I covered this with a thick roll of insulation and then wrapped it over the winter. We had such a long spell of cold weather in December, that 
I lost a lot of plants. When I uncovered the banana it was on huge lump of slime, so I cut it all off, but the root was too big to dig up. Instead I covered it with a few inched of soil and within a week there were new shoots coming up. Now I have to continually trim off the shoots so there isn't a whole forrest of trees!!!
Ripe tomatoes in July, last year it was after Labor day before I had a singel one.
