terry i sent you a pm. thank you for the generous offer. im reading up on what i can find about the iholene. as well as the sdc and the dc. there is a lot about these little trees. thats ok, cause the more i learn,the less stupid i may appear to some of the people here on this forum. i didnt know that there was such a huge difference between the sdc and the dc. it is amazing. and it is a huge species. thank you again for the kind offer.

you have never appeared stupid, Mskitty. Some people are just mean and narrow-minded! These same people dont have a good opinion of themselves and try to make others feel smaller than they are!

Right! And also, some things just come across "wrong" in writing. The only way we learn is to ask questions. That's why I have so many posts; many questions!

If you do not ask questions, you will never know. So ask away. Nothing asked is ever stupid. In a few years you will be a musa expert.

ok so heres a question: the basjoo is cold hardy(whithin reason) it could be planted as screening trees like on a fence row with bag leaf protection for winter? or would they require the more drastic cover with quilts and 12 mil plastic to keep from freeze damage? im tempted to do this, this spring/summer but not sure of the protection it would need in the fall/ winter. i figure at $3.00 a pop for the trees( only 1-1 1/2 ft.high) how much would it grow and would it be worth it to plant 15 in a row with them being that small(what is the required spacing between the trees)? should i get them and keep them in the house till they got a little bigger and then plant outside? i know the crom would be ok cause im a mulch freek, but the p-stem should be a bigger concern, right? this would be my first attemp to grow them outside, and it kind of weirds me out to think of all the things that could possibly kill a beloved tree.

I don't really have an answer to that. But I just came in from covering whatever plants I could. It's almost 1 AM.
I have yet to cover my Raja Puri's. They seem to be the winners as far as frost/freeze is concerned!
