Hello Banana friends:

This is my very first banana plant ever. This MUSA BASJOO pup was given to me by a kind gardener from another forum. It came from British Columbia, Canada. I have recently put it in the middle of my brand new lily garden. Figured it would offer some shade to the lilies, as they get none whatsoever.

I buried the pup in some rich compost with a bit of blood and bonemeal worked into the soil, to give it a great start. It seems to be doing terrific so far. This shot was taken about 5 days ago now, but want to show it from really tiny to really huge. I will post more peeks and continue to update my progress in this thread, as the season wears on, and as the plant grows.

This banana plant is in a south site where it will get all day sunshine and evening too! I bet it will be one huge tree. I am sooooo enjoying this experience, even though my little plant is just tiny yet...

More pictures will be forthcoming soon...
