Default Re: TC's vs. pups

Still I hear (maybe only rumors, I can't scientifically proove them) stings about TC basjoo being less strong/cold hardy than norma basjoo, and the same for Musella's.
I did experience this overwintering a non-TC Musella several winters outside, not suceeding this with TC Musella's from different sources. Might be coincidence,...but still remarkable.

There is one major flaw to TC though,....it's very hard to prop Musa 'AeAe' for example,...variegated plants seem to have difficulties, resulting either in full green plants, of fully white plants that won't survive because of the lack of chlorophylle.
Kind regards,
Remko.
