I know they will be ugly ......but maybe let them grow some ,more green =more growth.
Trim when it looks good. Do I spy a couple of brugs off to the right??? Last edited by cincinnana : 03-17-2014 at 09:48 PM. |

So at what point do others take their protection off of their outdoor in ground bananas? I tried to peek at one of mine today, and I don't think it looked that great. I unboxed one of my palm trees today and the fronds were burnt pretty bad... so I'm guessing I'll be in for some disappointment with the inground bananas....
I heard some farmers in my area are saying frost went down 5-6 feet in the fields. Knowing that, would any musa basjoo make it through a winter? |

I can smell these when I pull into my driveway if the wind is right......love it. The heavy fragrance of these on a hot July/August night is to die for.

To me the fragrance smells like the fragrance used in the popular clothing detergent Cheer. For me it is a distinct odor but heavier. Made in the United States Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio. On the other hand the Pinaud/Seagrams distillery is 7miles to the west and it smells like sweet cereal.. or schnapps or what ever they are making.. Believe me I get the angels share here in the valley....... hmmmm Lawrenceberg, Indiana. Last edited by cincinnana : 06-04-2016 at 06:13 PM. |

I was very worried about my Basjoos due to our cold Atlanta winter......they were left in ground and turned to mush. Well, now those same clumps are over 5' and thriving. Another area I had has sent out runners several feet away out into the yard, these things are almost invasive!! haha.
My Thai Giant colocasias have come back as well. One very weird thing is that all of my Cannas died. They are usually very hardy and come back no matter what.....not this year. |
