straw mulch as good as leaves for winter protection of p-stem?
I have read several posts about protecting Musa Basjoo using straw mulch. Is that as good for protecting any Banana P-stem as regular mulch and leaves?
Trying to do some advance frost/winter protection planning. Thanks |

Re: straw mulch as good as leaves for winter protection of p-stem?
For my Basjoos I had the worst winter in memory here in Dallas and all I used for them was 2 inches of mulch on top of some Burlap and it worked fine.
My concern is more the less hardy varieties I am trying this year. Gran Nain, Ice Cream and maybe Gold Finger. |
