I imagine this is the wrong time of year for trying to get one or more. Figured I'd give it a shot. I'd like to have one to watch grow while I'm waiting for spring. I bought one off of Amazon but it's not doing anything what so ever since I bought it. The reviews aren't so hot either but figured I'd give it a shot.
I bought a few different bananas from Green Earth co to watch grow till spring lol and they are all putting out new leaves and growing. They are in my bird room where I keep the temp at 70 degrees and bright lights. My big bananas are in an unheated garage for the winter.

I have a garage but it's separate from the house and cold enough that water freezes out there. Wasn't sure if that was an option or not.

Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate it. If they don't arrive safe, it's my fault. Just not a good time of year to try and buy them.
This will give me something to enjoy until spring arrives.
I'll have to look into the Helen hybrid. Sounds interesting.
Thanks again.

They've arrived! I'll get you another money order out to cover the extra shipping. It's much appreciated. I'll get them planted in some pots in the morning and label the Helen so I don't forget what it is. Thanks again. :)

My basjoo mat is large, I dig and give away or sell several pups every year.
I would like another species. This is the first time I have seen mention of Hellen's Highbred. After some internet research, I would be interested in buying a pup or two, come spring.

Mailed it this morning. It's well worth it to have these to tend to while waiting for spring. I'm hoping mine somehow made it through the winter and I'll see shoots, but if not I'll have these to put into pots outdoors and enjoy.
They're doing good. I've got them potted and in a sunny window.
