Here is a look at my basjoos. This is the second year for them. They are really taking off nicely now and are about 3 feet or more higher already! I covered them with leaf mulch for the winter--that's it. I managed to save 1 foot of pseudostem with a low of 15 degrees. I love the cold hardiness and rot resistance this banana offers!
