Default Re: Musa Basjoo in NW Ontario

STOP MAKING FUN OF MY TINY BANANAS!!! jk :P

I know their small..... in the first pics, they were about a few weeks in my posession, so they grew even since I initialy got them, so like i said , they have doubled in size... not the growth i was expecting.

This is definetly an experiment..... they technicaly shouldnt survive here, especialy unprotected. I got fargesia Rufa to survive here, but thats labeled as a zone 5 plant.... Basjoo is really a zone 8 plant, that happens to survive down to zone 5 while multched........ so personaly i wouldnt say its hardy to zone 5.

Bottom line.... its gonna be interesting to see what happens. Im digging one up regardless, and keeping one outside. Its gonna be under a few feet of leaves.... and a garbage can with rocks around to keep the heat at the soil....... If we had a winter like last year..... the thing will be fine

Hollyberry... Very nice plants.... im hopin to ge tmine tha tbig this yar
