Bananas in Zone 6
Hi,
My name is Olaf Henny, I live in Penticton, BC, Canada Hardiness Zone 6. In have a Musa Basjoo with 5 pups, which I have just "packed up" for the winter. It is now 11:15 PM here and I am about to turn in. In the next little while I will endevour to describe my rather elaborate protection procedure for the winter, including pictures. The M. Basjoo is touted to have a corm, which is winter hardy to H.Z. 5, but I want to try to protect as much of the pseudo stem as possible, to give it a better start next spring. Until soon, Olaf

Re: Bananas in Zone 6
Hi Olaf, nice to see you here
 You should check out Hollyberry's thread on growing basjoo in Ontario for lots of opinions on basjoo hardiness. There are plenty of them here, some saying they;re perfectly hardy in zone 5 with others(myself included) feeling all the protection you can give is best. Welcome aboard!
