Default Re: Question about "Dwarf Jamacian Red "

Hi,

do you show a new pic, how your Orinoco is now, with new growth? Your Orinoco seems to have survived, the pseudotrunks are still some green, the leaves but dead, but I see some green. Still life in the plant!

But unfortunately not hardy in Germany, but possibly with heating cables in the basjoo protection a survival chance in Germany. Yes, you read that Dwarf Orinoco might be protected as the same as basjoos. I call the winterprotection for bananas also "Basjoo Protection".

One lady in Cologne had success to overwinter one fruit banana from Greece in her yard, she heated it with heating cables, it also will stand in my book!

Happy banana growing
Joachim
