The effect of the Gulf stream is sufficient to cause certain parts of the west of Britain and Ireland to be an average of several degrees warmer than most other parts of those countries. Indeed, in Cornwall, and particularly the Scilly Isles, its effects are such that plants associated with much warmer climes, such as palm trees are able to survive the rigours of northern winters.

[Logan Botanic Garden]? in Scotland benefits strongly from the Gulf Stream, allowing their specimens of [Gunnera Manicata]? to grow to over 3 metres tall.
