Hello, I am new to your forum and am looking for some advise on a couple of subjects.
1) where I can get cold hardy bananas for zone 8B? I already have the common musa basjoo (a small groove actually ) and a couple of the golden lotus but was hoping to get other types - one of my problems is that I am from Vancouver Canada and it is next to impossible to find anyone with anything "exotic" or bring anything into the country.
2) the golden lotus are relatively new plants as I have only had them about 4 months, but one has already produced about 6 pups, some of which are about 30cm tall (6 inches). The mother is only about 100cm tall (3.5ft) and I am looking for the best way to seperate the pups. As I mentioned I do have a small groove of musa basjoo but have never seperated these pups so this is something new to me and I want to do it properly for the lotus, and to do so before the temperature drops any further (it has been going down to 8 celcius / 46 farenheit at night now)
Thank you,
