There are some very big plants there. Do they grow quickly in that climate or will these be sourced from wild collected plants?

He did mention that some plants are no longer allowed to leave Madagascar. I take that to mean he does have or deals in wild plants.

That's an impressive collection. No idea how he plans to move some of those giants to take with him to a new home... But a very unique and impressive garden, for sure.

He mentioned in the beginning of the video, that he has collected these plants from all over the world. Not sure what that means, whether taken from the wild or collected from nurseries in different countries. Not gonna make any assumptions.
