Hi,

today I unprotected first two of my five outdoor bananas. The pseudotrunks of Musa basjoo "Sakhalin" at my greenhouse have also survived the past very mild winter. Perhaps one of the pseudotrunks will flower and fruit this summer. But I will be in Brasil in August, but my friend Chris will look after my bananas.

I was very amazed as I unprotected the first of my both sikkimensis. It was in one styropor turm filled with moist to nearly wet bark chips. The both pseudotrunks of the Musa sikkimensis are survived very well and regrow now!

The lowest winter temperature was only -8°C. Very mild for Germany! Climate warming by Greenhouse Effect!

Are there also other people, which do have the same experiences like me?

I'm now celebrating this success of keeping pseudotrunks of Musa sikkimensis and am drinking sekt!

With the best
Joachim
