Hi fellow Europeans,

I'm from Antwerp, Belgium. I have a small garden but I still enjoy growing exotic plants and bananas are my favorite plants. 2 years ago I almost had a Musa Basjoo in flower but then it became too cold. Last winter was very cold for a long time and even with protection the stems were frozen, but many suckers came up and now my Basjoos are looking great. I also have a Musella Lasiocarpa in flower that looks impressive, an Ensete Maurelii and a Dwarf Cavendish. This year I also tried some seeds of different bananas but I only had success with Snow Banana.

The weather is still great here +20C so no worries yet!

Kind regards
Rudy
