Picked this up a couple weeks ago here in Marietta, GA. I'll keep it in my garage until spring, some of the leaves have blackened at the edges which I will cut off soon. Waiting till spring to join the rest of the tropical forest.:woohoonaner:

musa basjoo, could you reccommend any other varieties that would withstand Atlanta Temps??

Some of the other Windmills & Needles on my lawn.







This one was an orphan from Home Depot 2 years ago.

Musa Basjoo is a great first choice.... there are so many other's I'd hesitate to suggest any. I reccomend getting comfortable here maybe check the "wiki" and "search " features on the blue line at the top and then maybe get a feel for what you may want to grow . You can always ask for help but this would be the best start for you.
