I thought I'd break into my picture vault and find some musa basjoo pictures from a few years ago to compare their growth rate. I found a few good pictures starting with the 3" tissue cultured plants. I hope these pics will give new growers of musa basjoo inspiration. Starting with tissue culture isn't all bad.
The beginning...
The next year...
A couple rewards in 2007 for my hard work...
Here they are today...
I hope you enjoyed watching my musa basjoo grow over the years!
