Default Re: Musa cheesmanii- stem hardiness

After several nights with temperatures close to frozen an the two last nights with temperatures low to -4ºC ( 24 ºF)



my M. nagensium ‘Florale Noir’ has leave damage but stem seems still OK



M. itinerans ‘Yunnan' was more damaged but it steam is also OK. You can also see in the picture Alocasia gageana with some
frozen leaves.



I protected my M. sikkimensis ‘Red Tiger’ stem but leaves were completely burned (this plants was younger then the previous ones)



I also have Musa basjoo planted in my garden and it has the fewest damages (but it is also the oldest and bigest one)

I hope frozing night finished for this year
