Musa rubinea (Read: Gabe)
Looks like my little musa rubinea is going to make it through the winter in the garage just fine. I was kinda worried about it when it's leaves dried up at the same time musa beccarii did from the chilly garage. Musa sikkimensis and m. itinerans (or what we are now calling m. itinerans) both are still holding green leaves when those two dried their's up. However, the pseudostem still looks fine and the spear leaf is nice and green. I don't have too many hopes of this one being a cold-tolerant species, but you never know. I will trial it in the ground next winter and find out!
