Bananas.org - View Single Post - Totally New to Basjoo! Damage during shipment :(

Hi all,
Not sure but I think I need a little help. I live in zone 7 and recently planted some small Basjoos I received, however during shipping a number of the small basjoos appeared to be squashed. I managed to plant them however they are wilting very bad with some browning. I fertilized with a 24-8-16 mixture and hoping for the best. My question is, how durable is this plant? Is it likely the damaged plants will not flourish?

Also, here in the North East we were hit with a tremendous rainfall, will this effect the Basjoo negatively?

Best Regards!

SH
