Harvey,

I'm curious to know more about your Pisang Klotek and the kind of winter you describe it surviving. Did you give it any protection? Did the pseudostem start off the winter at 3 feet? I ask because I planted one I purchased from Jon which was about that height last fall, and it almost immediately rotted to the ground under much warmer conditions than those you describe. About half the corm survived the winter, and it has just now resprouted for me. I'm not sure why it suffered such a setback here in 10a.
