Hey everyone,
I live in Vancouver, Canada. Right now, I have four bajoos in large pots and one in the ground. None produce any fruit. They are about 4 feet high at the moment, and several of them have babies off the side of the main trunk.
Anyway, it is getting cold at night here (dipping to about 4 degrees Celcius). So I guess soon I will bring some of the bananas into a mud room where they will stay dry (but still be technically outside).
The one outside? cut the stalk back and wrap it for the winter? Leave it?
By the way, my motivation for having bananas is that I have travelled a lot in tropical countries (I was recently in southern Ethiopia) and love having bananas around me at home in the more temperate rain forest (wet winters) we have on the Pacific Northwest coast.
By the way, I also have twin infants (14 month old girls), so it takes me a long time to post or do much of anything else these days. So I may ask questions and not get back for a while. Hope that is ok.
Thanks again for any advice. Also, feel free to ask me all the stuff I probably forgot to mention.
Cheers
