Re: Mekong Giant vs Basjoo
I must have a Mekong Midget. I got it late last year, it didn't grow much, kept it in the house over the winter. It stayed looking good, just small. I put it in a bigger pot in March and it grew a little. I put it in the ground and it looks good, just putting out pretty small leave. Maybe I have a Dwarf hahaha. It is cute though

Side by side.
Three heavy frosts and still going .....and more to come. Mekongs seem to be a bit more frost sensitive this time around Basjoos on left Mekong on right. . Mekong giant by Hostafarian, on Flickr |

I could not resist Bags are inexpensive,easy to move and store. https://www.walmart.com/ip/2CF-Year-...E&gclsrc=aw.ds . Another inexpensive/free alternative is to have a tree service dump waste chips for your garden needs. This requires more labor to distribute but it is still worth it. 20 yrds Mulch by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
Re: Mekong Giant vs Basjoo
For me in zone 5/6 after a few frosts the Mekong was the first to succumb to winter.
The Basjoo lasted a couple more weeks of frosts before a hard frost stopped it completely. Both are awesome hardy low maintenance landscape plants that add an instant tropical feel for years to come.

Before Thanksgiving we had 3 or 4 nights in the very low 30s (like 29 or 30) and everything went to hell. It's been like late spring ever since

Re: Mekong Giant vs Basjoo
It’s like spring all over again. All my bananas are back pushing. 65 on Christmas. Here’s some photos of my Mekong’s and Saba. Saba is probably the third hardiest banana that I have. I covered up the saba pup and it’s already pushing the cage upwards. Lol

Question. If bananas love full sun and these ferns prefer full shade or partial sun, how do they both survive and look so good together? It truly looks great. Scott/Omaha |
