Kyle, I received the plant from a friend in late Summer of 2005 as a small seedling. He grew the plant from RPS seed though. Musella lasiocarpa, Musa sikkimensis, and Musa basjoo come back from the stem with this procedure. Haven't tried it with M. itinerans, but I bet it would work too. I'm hoping that M. cheesmani will also. We're supposed to get some very cold (possibly real zone 7a!) temps here early next month, so it will be put to the test! Always nice to have another cold-hardy banana species to grow here. Maybe I can add even more to the list next Spring.
