The picture shows the basjoo fruits that seem to keep growing entirely
without any leaves which died back during the winter, and the pseudostem
and the flower bud successffully overwintered and flowered in the mid April.
Since then it has kept growing and become round shaped showing a possi-
bility of pollination.
Normally it would die back within 2 months or so if without leaves and not
pollinated. The leaves in the back are from other pseudostems and not from
this stem.

Does anybody have an answer why it is still alive?
