Default Re: Musa xishuangbannaensis getting ready to flower

Very cool, Eric, although I expected it to be much taller than 15 feet! Have yours shown any problems handling the heat/sun? Mine sent three leaves in a row out that promptly browned on the edges (a good bit actually)when they unfurled. The pseudostem also started seemingly "falling apart," although it's really not in any danger of actually doing so. The last four leaves that came off the pseudostem were still very green with not even a litle bit of yellowing when they fell off. It's a fast grower in my yard. I know yours are in quite a bit of shade, right? Wonder if that's my problem...

Thanks,

Frank
