lots of banana pictures on my website, Northern Tropics: Home
just click the link at the right side of the home page where it says something about view our pictures. Did you get those on e-bay from me? I just mailed some to Illinois on Monday.
happy growing

I got it from ebay but her name was gigi. Well, I can order from you next time. You should share to me how your basjoo are able to withstand the winter.

Also, a bit off topic. I'm looking for other perennials that will match my basjoo. One of the perennial I like is the yucca filamentosa. It looks tropical. I also like the looks of a palm tree but I am looking for something that is just around 5ft tall and hardy in 5a. Or maybe, you guys have other perennial recommendation for my tropical theme.

Thanks in advance!

This is bad ass! It is PHENOMENAL!!! I can't wait to see mine!!! How long will I wait before I see mine as tall as that?
