Re: Musa cheesmanii- stem hardiness
Tropicalvr and Bigdog, it's people like you who do the research the seed-dealers should have done in the first place! Bravo!
I think it's the same problem with cheesmani as with helen and nagensium. Gardeners haven't grown mature plants yet, and experiences in overwintering are not available yet.
Some cling to basjoo, some take it a step further and try new species in the cold! It must be fun to know that you are on virgin ground, discovering new science through the winter!
I have a large number of nagensium X, cheesmani, and a few nagensium "true" that I can't wait to plant out this spring. Your observations have encouraged me even further if that's possible!
