Oh, Oh...I counted out Musa 'Royal Purple' too soon! I've been checking it every day for signs of life, and today I saw the first pseudostem breaking the surface. Good thing too, because I was going to dig it up very soon and plant something else there.

Still nothing from Musa velutina. I'm baffled as to why I can't seem to overwinter it here. Others in Nashville, Chattanooga, Cleveland (TN...Randy), and here in Knoxville seem to have no problems with it. I'll try again, but I'm not holding my breath.
