Smile Re: Musa Basjoos - How are everyone's doing?

Well, mine is dead!!

I beleive that................

1.) It was too young to go through the winter. Although it got about 2ft tall; I had planted it in-ground late July, and I really don't think that was a long enough period to get strong for the winter.

2.) Not enough winterizing stuff on the ground around the banana to keep the water OUT! Next winter, my new basjoo will have leaf bag coverage as well as.

I have another one I had growing inside all winter from a corm. I put it out early April and its growing fine!
I'll post a pic tomorrow.
