Hey all you banana heads,I've been creeping on the forum for quite some time now looking at all you guys awesome posts and how friendly you guys are and how you all give awesome great advice. So for that I thank you! :jump: I have tons of Musa Basjoo growing around the yard here in NC. But today I made an amazing purchase at my local Home Depot when I saw it I was like :woohoonaner: And I am so excited I just had to share it with you guys/gals!

Not sure what part of NC your in but coastal these guys survive winters fine here. There are some pretty huge ones in Wilmington.

I have one in Michigan and dig it up and take it in for the winter.

I keep it dry rooted and it comes back year after year.

Found mine at Marvin's Hardware. Was last one so was a little worn around the edges but after some TLC and playing oldies radio on my outside speaker, all is well.lol

Good luck.
