Hi Guys. Time to unlurk at last. I'm over in the UK and have been reading this forum for a fair while. The cold hardy forum has given me lots of things to think about in how to keep the nanas alive and flourishing (apart from our dear old Basjoo and Sikkis).

Usually, I wrap my nanas in winter with fleece, but this year, I'm trying lifting some, and keeping them tucked up in a cool place. I don't have a cellar or suchlike, so have popped them into a low attic. So far, so good although we're having a warm time of it this year so far.

I'm also trying out nana germination. After reading the posts here, I've put together a warm/cold environment...30C during the day, 10C at night. Some more nana seeds are winging their way across as I speak from Jim and Seedmans, so I can give more varieties a go. Crossing my fingers for germination..

I recognise some of the members names already as we meet on other forums (Hi Mark, Steve, Erlend....).

Anyway, I'll endevour to post more here, although I'm definitely on that steep learning slope.
