Re: The correct hardiness of Musa basjoo
I am zone 6 Missouri. My Musa Basjoos made it throught the winter with 2 days of 4*F. I mulch my musas with 2 ft of cyprus mulch in a wire round tomato cage that we make ourselves. The cage is probably 1 1/2 foot wide. The big one did not come back buecause it rotted but 5 pups from that banana has come up. One other plant that was new last year, that my husband dug up by mistake and I had him replant came back. It also has 2 ft of cyprus mulch with a cage. It works here for us
