Hmmm...hard to tell here yet. Nothing's moving! I can tell you what isn't the banana of the winter for me, and that's Ensete gilletii. I germinated 24 seeds, and had some good plants going for awhile. Then they all started rotting in the greenhouse. I am down to 6 now. Out of those 6, two look pretty good, the rest are touch and go. Not really happy about it, but what do you do. I'm going to tissue culture a pile of them this summer though. As long as I can keep one alive until then.
