Default Greetings from Oakville, Ontario
Hi all,

My name's Mark and I'm 23. I just purchased two 50cm tall Musa Basjoos which I will hopefully be receiving next friday and I plan on keeping one indoors for at least a year and planting one outside and see how it does over the winter.

Are there lots of Canadians on this forum?

Anyways, I will be sure to post pics of my progress.

Welcome. There certainly are more Canadians on this forum, than Europeans. Do check out the banana wiki we have here for more information about your plants.

welcome to the org... if you click on the map link at the top of the page, it will take you to the members map page. It takes a little time to load, but there are over 1200 people who have put their location up so far.
