uncover your basjoos yet? After 70 degrees yesterday I was really tempted. After this winter though I'm guessing the P-stem is toast, the lowest low was -4 and we just had too many days more than the normal amount of single digit days. I planned all along to wait till beggining to mid April but if you took a peek at yours I'd like to hear about it.

I uncovered a mat that tree limbs fell on a couple weeks ago. Your guess is correct the pstem was mush. I dug out the corm and cut off the soft stuff and treated it with fungicide and put it in the basement. I think its gonna be fine but there goes my attempt of saving some pstem. I reached in the cage of my largest basjoo and the stem just feels like it all dried up to nothing. It's not mushy at all. Couldn't get to the ground level so maybe some of it is ok but I doubt it.

I'd take it off and put it back on. Next week is going to be cold again . We're predicted to go down to 31F (Coastal DE) next week (which will likely be lower).

I am trying to figure out the best way to prep the ground to plant my basjoo outside this year and try to get it to grow here. We do drop very cold and I am worried I will kill it, but they claim it will grow anywhere with proper care ... Well, I live in Upstate NY and am not so sure this is true ... I guess I will fidn out, but anyone who has any tips and pointers ... please share them with me. Thanks!!!

Hi Ang. What type soil do you have? I have really nice draining sandy loam so I don't have to do much. I just throw in some compost, water it well every couple of days and fertilize it. But they are spose to grow in about anything. I think I'd wait till after the danger of frost before planting. Then if you plan on leaving it in the ground you will have to protect it next winter. Using the search feature will lead you to all kinds of info on specific questions and topics. They like lots of sun and if you have a place to protect them from the wind it will keep the wind from tearing the leaves. I kinda like a few torn leaves myself. Anyway good luck with your basjoo.

Bob I did, I uncovered one of them. I took the tarp off and my heart dropped....Yep its dead to the ground. I don't have much hope for the other one, but I still have some that are potted in the garage and some that I dug up...Oh well I guess I know how to overwinter next year.

Stump and Ang, I think I'm going to uncover and have a peek myself. I really doubt the P-stem made it though. It was just too cold for too long this year. Still I'm betting the corm will turn out ok. If I get a chance I'll do it today and post with pics. If not, by the weekend for sure.

Michael

Michael -

I have crappy, rocky, nasty soil. Eveything I plant is usually something I prepare a bed for except my tomatoes and rhubarb. I want my little basjoo, who is now a foot + tall, to have a good start. But I am in zone 5 (thank GOD no colder) and worry about the warmth factor for the winters. Protection, yes, I am aware. But I was wondering if I should even go so far as to put a heater (very low wattage, just enough to keep the firgid air out, but still cold enough for him to stay dormant) in there with the poor thing. I plan to try and get him in the ground and was wondering about maybe planting him in a LARGE container in the ground .... like a sunken garbage can or a sunken tire pot. Has anyone tried something like that???

Not the success I'd hoped for but after this winter not a failure at all.
Wait till next year!..I'll show ya!!!!

03-12-2009, 08:28 PM
Well, Bob ... I am wondering what I would have to do to keep my baby alive. Yours froze up but the corm stayed good? ... how long before she starts to grow??

I wonder if doing the tree lights and bubble wrap along with burlap and Then straw would work> I saw pics of this guy in I think Michigan who grows a palm tree in the ground that way and it has been alive for YEARS. I would have to try to find that info again, but maybe we should write him????

angsaidso
03-12-2009, 08:30 PM
PS .. has anyone tried regular house insulation and wrapping it the p-stem that way prior to the straw bales??? Just curious.

stumpy4700
03-12-2009, 09:01 PM
Sorry Bob, Looks like we are in the same boat here. I havent removed the bales of straw yet but it looks the same. After tonights unexpected snow hopefully it'll stay warm to where I can finally unwrap them for good. Good luck buddy.:lurk:

Bob
03-13-2009, 06:39 AM
Ang, I'm going to modify things a bit next year maybe using the insulation. The Christmas lights work but I'm more in to low tech( unless I were trying an edible variety that would be a different mindset for me then. Check out the tuckedawayfarm .com website. he advertises here as TA farm. It shows there pretty clearly how he wraps his palms for the winter. What it doesn't show is that he also uses lights for additional warmth during below zero weather.

Thanks Stump , after this unusually cold winter I'm not disappointed with losing the p-stem. Next year maybe additional............something. Still the corm is as hard as a rock so I think late March/ beginning of April I'll uncover again and put a plastic tent or maybe a wall'o water over it to jolt it in to growth.

I'm in Waverly, Ohio.
I put cypress mulch around the base of mine basjoos, cut them back to abour a foot tall and place 4 black garbage bags of leaves around the plant with 2 over lapping on top. I haven't lost my psuedostems yet.

Michael- Good news!

I haven't dug mine out yet, but I fully expect to find a p-stem of mush and a good corm also with the basjoo. Hopefully the lasiocarpa and sikkim will also have made it through this colder than normal winter. I know that I have a needle palm that has had no problems previously but is almost toast now.

stumpy4700
03-23-2009, 10:29 PM
Ok so I cut it down to the corm. now what, I covered it back up with cypress mulch. Do I water it now or wait for a pup to come thru?........Help:lurk:

nice size plant you had last year hope it doubles, one thing i wanna tell every one . I was at a local garden center and i saw some musa basjoo's, one plant which was 5 feet tall cost $100 ,i couldn't believe it i thought i was going blind i had to ask them how much it said , i was like whatttttttt? see i got a 4 1/2 foot gran nain last year for $30 and that was a good bargin but it died:(

03-24-2009, 11:21 PM
I checked mine the other day. First year in the ground last year. In the fall I cut the leaves off leaving me with about 4.5' of pstem. Enclosed it in chicken wire. Filled it with leaves & straw. Wrapped it with a tarp. When I dismantled everything I was left with a 4 inch pstem. Basically had to cut it to the ground. The base is still solid so I am hoping that it made it through our cold winter. This is my first nana. I have 4 ice cream pups started indoors this past winter that I can't wait to get in the ground this year. I'm hooked!!!

I think a lot of us were hopeful since the last few years didn't reach the lowest temps we got this year. Still It looks like most everyone's corms survived. At least it's warming quickly again this year. Think back to last April we had a week of 90 degree temps. Maybe we'll get that again this year and another early start to the growing season.

Bob
03-25-2009, 07:49 AM
Howard, I'd like to hear more about your needle palm. I visited TAFarm up here in February. His seemed to be in great health unprotected outdoors even just a few weeks after our -4 days. Do you think yours will come back. You have some Windmill palms as well right? How are they. Same with the Pindo. Inquiring minds want to know. All mine have been moved to the green house , I plan on getting them out in the ground in April depending on the forecast and then I can get the bananas in the greenhouse.

plantguy
03-25-2009, 03:38 PM
I have a Windmill Palm also. A 30 gal I purchased last year. All I did was wrap it with frost cloth for it's first winter in the ground. It's now uncovered & looks good. Very hardy palm.

I removed the mulch of straw from one of my smaller windmill palms and the basjoo clump today. The windmill seems to have fared well through the winter. The basjoo looks like it always looks....terrible. But eventually it will start with new growth up the p-stem. I left my small needle palm uncovered this past winter (unlike prior winters) as it's supposedly so hardy. Well, it looks like toast. Oh well, maybe it will start some new growth now that it's warming up.

Thanks Howard. Bummer about the needle palm. I have one that size I was tempted to leave out this year but I guess not. The very large ones I've seen have done well, even unprotected. I'd have guessed the smaller fan palm would have croaked and that did well for you. I guess you never know till you try. Thanks for posting.

Hi everyone!!!! Sorry I have been so absent and so new .... I just got back from a Home Show in VA ... didn't do much in the way of sales, but had a great time!! :-) The best par tof the weekend was visiting my fave greenhouse down there and coming home with a red banana pup .... Ensata maurelii. GORGEOUS! Just eight inches tall. But I was wondering ... how hard is it to pull a banana from the ground in the fall to winter over inside?? I mean, I have thought I should maybe plant all my bananas outside in the warm sunhine and then cut them back, dig them up and bring them in since they will all croak otherwise. Opinions?????

saltydad
04-06-2009, 10:27 PM
OK, after 60-70F weather. now we are to have mid to low 30s at night, and chances of snow in the western counties of the state. I just unlocked and went outside and covered everything back up. Good thing I was lazy and hadn't cleaned away all the straw mulch yet.

Bob
04-07-2009, 12:24 PM
Ang, it will probably only get 3-4' this year anyway so will be no trouble to dig and repot. It's after that that you'll need to get creative about getting friends to help. If you get to that point a handtruck and straps will save your spine.

Bob -

So then maybe just dealing with the Big GIANT enoromous pretty pot in the yard thing would work best. ::::sigh::: I was just hoping I could get all of the BIG glory out of it by putting it in the ground. Would it not get bigger in the ground than in a pot? Just curious. I know some plants grow wonderfully in the ground and did better, even when being taken up every year. So I just wondered if the same thing was true about bananas! :-)

Bob
04-07-2009, 03:04 PM
Ang, I would put it in the ground if you have room. Then the big decision is how to overwinter.....Big pot or the "bigdog" method,( see putting the bananas to sleep for the winter in the cold hardy threads). If it were me, I'd use the big pot for a dwarf edible variety. I think no matter what it's going to take 2-3 years to get a 8" pup to monsterous size.

With the long range forecast calling for lows in the 40s, today was the day. With the cold winter we all had in the northeast (I'm in Staten Island,NY) I was afraid all we would see was mush. Happy to say that my two mats of Basjoos came through and I had four pstems on each mat they all made it, the largest was a 72" pstem. I used xmas lights, but I think the thing that really made the difference was a themostatically controlled plug that went on at 35 degrees and off at 45 degrees. So all I did was wrap the xmas lights around the pstem and put the plug into the pile, I ran a couple of lights outside the tarp. So all winter long I watched the lights go on and off as needed. Without the plug I don't know how you would know when you needed to have the lights on. I have some pics of the "piles" from last fall in my gallery. I hope as more members uncover their mats they can also report good news. Hope everyone has a good growing season.

I also started unveiling the basjoos today. I was prepared for the worst but, so far things are looking pretty good. I had wrapped each stem with several sheets of newspaper, then a layer of bubble wrap with a plastic bag wrapped fairly snugly, and taped, over the tops. I then built a wire cage around the mat, filled it with leaves, and tied a plastic tarp over the whole thing. I,m not finished yer, but the first stem I uncovered was green just about to the top, about 4½ feet.

Here's the tarp:

Well, all the Basjoos I had covered came back. At first I said they were green to the tip. It was probably more like yellow and, at first, they didn't seem to move much, but we had about a week of cool weather, after I uncovered. (Days 50s to low 60s; nights 40s to low 50s) But yesterday it was in the 70s, and today, and the next 3 days it's in the 80s, so they're greening up, and pushing out. Even found some of the pups had pups. Last fall, I found the main stem broken off. See this.http://www.bananas.org/f2/broken-basjoo-7364.html
I cut it off, at about a foot, threw it in a pot, and put it in the cellar. A couple of weeks ago, I found the stem had collapsed, but there was a nice pup in the pot. Here's a picture of the pup.
http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=16843&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=16843&ppuser=826)
You can see the collapsed stem lying in the pot.

Covered up a lasiocarpa last fall also, but that looks pretty much mush.

saltydad
04-25-2009, 10:36 PM
Well, even though I had only straw pile mulched my basjoos (no wrapping, etc., and they looked like hell when I uncovered them a week or so ago), today I found 2 pups had started growth about an inch or so above the soil. I was so overjoyed that I immediately started looking microscopically at my cavs, Chinese yellow and sikkim,, but nothing. My sikkim even is slightly hollowed over the p-stem at just below ground level. I'll be waiting with fingers and toes crossed.

Bob
04-26-2009, 05:09 AM
My formerly hard as a rock corm(actually the last inch and a half of P-stem)has turned to mush. To say I'm a bit bummed is an understatement. No pups, no anything. All I can do is wait and have a replacement ready.............( Really want to curse at this point)

Michael_Andrew
04-26-2009, 06:38 AM
Darn Bob. I thought you were good to go from the pics. Mine looked very much like yours but I have the main stem pushing about 3 inches and all three pups are pushing,. One is around 6 inches and can see a leaf starting to emerge. I was worried about the main stem cause it was always so wet looking like moisture was oozing up thru it. I had 7 planted and it looks like only my biggest survived. The others were substantially smaller.

Update: Today I noted that my needle palm (thought dead- see above) has pushed up about 1/2 inch of a new green spear. Damn, they are tough! Another positive note- a Sabal mexicana is also showing a bit of new green. Life is good, or at least getting better! No life showing yet on my S. minor or L. chinensis, but I still have hopes now. Just wish I could see some growth from my Chinese yellow or sikkim. Don't expect anything from the cavs; it was a real long shot.

Well it's been a really long time since I've posted, probably late last summer or fall. During the winter months I only pop by the site rarely, just to poke around. NOW IT'S SPRING and I'm expecting to be here on a fairly regular basis. I uncovered my basjoos in April during the week ending 4/25, so it's been a few weeks. This past winter I used the cage/mulch method on only two of my clumps the other nine I tried using home insulation with a mound of mulch at the base, of course, all were covered with plastic. This was my second year of over wintering and it was definately NOT as mild as the year before! I had six that did as well as I could have hoped for and five not so well. The plants along the fence on the left side of my back yard and the plants against the back of my house & deck faired well. The plants along my back fence and the fence to the right not so well. It's hard to say if one wrapping method performed better than the other. One of the caged plants was at the back of my house and I believe retained all of it's stem height. The other caged plant was to the right and was basically flimsy to the ground. One of the basjoos that was brought to ground level has not yet begun to grow back and I'm losing faith. All of the other ground level plants are growing at either an existing stump, sending up pups, or both. I'll just have to transplant a pup or two to that possible failed location. I'm very happy with the basjoos that did well. Losing almost no height I have some stems over 4 feet tall. That's a much better head start than last year! It could be that the insulation method worked out better when I look at it that way...I dunno. My thoughts tell me location HAD to be a deciding factor in determining success. My house faces west, sort of northwest, but basically west. The most successful plants were ALL on the south to southeast side of a structure- my house, deck, or fence. I do remember reading about having better results mulching over cannas when they are on the south side of a structure. I'm very far from an expert but there could be something to that. While the nannas are growing we have had a few colder, windier days than desired and they seem to be off to a slow start. I have some beaten up browned leaves and have already cut a few. Of course each first leaf popped out nasty being from the top of the cut and tattered stem, but even some since those look like hell. I haven't gotten my but out there yet with a camera but I'll be sure to post pics soon.
I hope all your gardens are bursting with growth!!

Check out the tuckedawayfarm .com website. he advertises here as TA farm. It shows there pretty clearly how he wraps his palms for the winter. What it doesn't show is that he also uses lights for additional warmth during below zero weather.


I searched & it appears that this is tuckedawayfarmS(dot)com ?

Unless there are two?
