Well... I ended up planting them at my grandparents house. Since I wanted them to be somewhere they might be a bit more permanent than where I live now. Unfortunetly they took quite the beating on the 15 mile trip at 35 mph in the back of my pick up. Had no camera, so whipped out the handy dandy cell phone.

Ya know, i was going to say something to you when I saw the pic of them loaded on your truck with no wind protection. Now I wish that I would have, but figured by the time you got it, you had already moved them. The wind would severely dessicate and shred the leaves even on a short trip. But, they will recover eventually. You might have to trim them off, so that it signals the corm to produce new shoots. Best of luck!

Not really much I could have done about it, I had to leave my tailgate down so they weren't learning and break the pstem going over bumps and stuff.. My bed is only 6ft.. and the nanas are 7 1/2. I would have needed an enclosed trailer.

They still look great especially for the deal you got them for. Theres not many places you can get 7 foot trees, so you got to do what you can to get them home alive, I brought some home the same way and within 2 weeks the new leafs were pushing through.

They should recover nicely.
