Default Re: Musa Basjoo in Zone 3

Oops, I forgot.

The banana would be in full sun. Frost protection should end about May 15 with the first fall frost in Mid October. Day time temps vary from 15*C/60*F and 30*C/85*F with overnight summer lows between 15*C/60*F and 20*C/70*F. Edmonton's hours of sunlight are in the top 10 for Canada.

Hope that this helps with your estimate.

Allen
