Default My ''Pisang Ceylon''!

Hello!

I got my ''Pisang Ceylon'' last fall and overwintered it potted outside,unprotected,in my Pyrgos garden. It did well and survived with no pseudostem damage temperatures down to -2,5C and lots of winter rain,more than 632mm to be exact! Come spring,its dripper clogged and survived 2 weeks of bone dry soil in full sun,while potted and actually had 2 leafs in decent condition! Then,i found a spot and ground planted it. It was very skinny from the drought and the leafs paper thin. Here is a photo of it right after ground planting it,after the 2 weeks of drought!


And here it is about a month later,at the end of June!


Looking forward to see it grow tall!!!
