I will Howard. I want to get some late season pics up this week if I can. I have been so busy outside digging up canans, elephaant ears, raking leaves, covering the bananas etc. I had my basjoo and partially covered since we had our first semi freeze last weekl I think we hit 30. The cannas were fried but the leaves on the basjoo were untouched. Today I took the plastic off that was covering the straw-we had a ton of rain last week. And now it looks mild for the most part through the end of the month. The latest I have gone with covering the bananas is Thanksgiving. Maybe I can push it even later this year.

My Mekong, even at 6 ft, is still pretty slender too. It worries me a bit for this coming winter. But I covered it just like my basjoo, with straw bales. I have had young, slender basjoos sail through cold winters so I still am optimistic.
