Last basjoo pictures this year?

wxman · 10-03-2008, 08:33 PM

Frost advisory for tonight with a forecasted low of 32F, so tonight by basjoo's may die back. So I thought I'd take one last round of pictures, just in case they do. Sucks, too. After tonight, it will stay above 45F at night for the next seven days at least. Here are the pictures of this year's progress:

And some other tropicals that are staying in the ground this winter:

Butia Capitata, with two musa basjoo and Washingtonia Robusta in the background:

Hi Tim, we're looking at 36 degrees tonight with scattered frost and then back into the low 50's upper 40's for over night lows here in N. Illinois, highs mid 60's and low 70's for the next 7-10 days, I just put plastic sheeting I got at Menards over my nanners, last year on cold nights I covered my Dwarf Cav. with a 6x8 tarp when frost was predicted, it made it out side untill the middle of Nov., then I brought it inside, it made it ok, the sheeting comes in roll and folds out to about twelve feet wide, 5-7 dollars for a 25-30 foot roll, good investment for those of us zonally challenged nanna growers.

Tim you have a great looking set up going there. In a few years that should really look incredible. Nice work!

Does a train run through your yard?? Looks like tracks back in the pic.

dablo93 · 10-04-2008, 03:20 AM

nice pics! next year they will be big!
I dont think they will get really frost damaged after 32 F
the pstem will stay well until it gets colder then 27/28 F

It's getting cold here too at night. I think it might get into the lower 70's = brrrrrrrr!
Now's the time of year I like the heat in Vegas, so do the bananas.

Your palms also look great, Tim. Just wait until they come back even bigger and better next year!

I should take pictures of my basjoo too. Anyways, it was our first frost this morning. The temp here was around 34F-35F at 6am as displayed by my outside temp reader.

Check this out taken around 7am.
