Hi

I am a little bit north of Atlanta in zone 7 a/b. About 3 weeks ago I purchased a nice 5 feet tall Musa rajapuri, planted it and it's just sitting there doing nothing.
The bottom leaves have dried out and the top leaves are fine.There is a curled up leaf in the center since the day I bought it but it doesn't come out.
Other bananas I planted at the same time have pushed one or several leaves (Tall orinoco, Ensete,Musa basjoo).
Is it putting roots down?Is is still too cold for it (Low 55 high 85)?

Thanks a lot

Patrick
