Default Re: Musa Mekong Giant winter update

Mine handled it well. The leaves didn't show much damage until about 28 degrees or so. Much like Musa Basjoo. However my 2 plants didn't make it this past winter, our 5th WARMEST WINTER EVER, with covering the same as my basjoo. The stems and corms, even planted a bit deeper, froze. These had massive covering. My basjoos, even ones of equal size and diameter to the mekongs, did just fine. In fact one of my basjoos is already starting to flower.
