Default Re: Musa Viente Cohol, any info

Hey guys, I placed my order right before all the buzz hit over V. cohol and have one growing. At this time, it's still small--about 1 foot high total--and is in a one gallon pot. I've learned already that this banana likes warm temperatures to really get growing. I'd say it grows a little earlier in the season than Orinoco but has similar temperature requirements. That's about all I can report so far. I will plant it in the ground when overnight temps are consistently near 65 or above.
