Hi everyone!

After reading a few posts I finally jumped in and joined the group. Just a quick into, I have been growing tropicals here in Milwaukee for about 15 years, with elephant ears and bananas being my main interests. What I really enjoy doing is pushing the limits with anything that I can keep outside over winter here. I have grown Musa Basjoo outside for the last 10 years (flowered in 06) with protection, along with a couple elephat ears (also mulched). I have a couple new bananas I'm going to try this winter, although I'm not 100% sure what they are so when I figure out how to post pics I'll post them for IDing on here. I have also grown a few Ensete and Musa from seed over the years.

Well thats it for now. Thanks for letting me join this great group of people! I hope to learn a lot here.

Eric
