Default New delivery Musa Basjoo what now?

Can't find the answer, just received my 5 Musa Basjoo plants. They are about 12 inches tall and root ball is wrapped in plastic wrap. We are in southern Illinois, too early to plant? If not how do I keep them? Thank you so much for any help

Your 10 day weather forecast puts you into the average last frost date.

Your temperatures till then are favorable for planting .

If it does frost you may always cover them.

When first planting basjoos first amend and loosen/till the soil very well. This will help your plants settle in faster.

Basjos are awesome, I hope they do well in your landscape.
