Re: Time to finally plant my Musa Basjoo
Hi Jesse,
I agree with you planting where the snow melts first I did the same when I planted my basjoo couple years back. I don't know exactly where you are but you want the daytime high's to be in the 60's so the roots can settle. and the night temps as long as you cover the plant with a container so the frost doesn't do any damage. I planted a kru on april 26 last year. im close to toronto and there was a horrible week of weather into first week of may and I lost it due to rot. It was too cool and wet. for me I plant any time after May 2nd or 3rd. I'd wait a bit but it's up to you.
the sandy soil I have that too not a problem add some other soil too it.
the 40 degree weather in summer is not an issue. Maybe some heat damage just keep it watered.
hope it works out well for you.
