Musa Rowe Red question
Hello everyone. I just bought a Rowe Red from a local green house. On the tag it states it is hardy down to 25 degrees F. Should I assume the corm will be the only thing left or would the foliage be intact at 25 degrees?
thanks for looking-DAN |

Re: Musa Rowe Red question
correct. The leaves will be toast upon freezing (or for some varieties, they will start to look bad if exposed to lower temps without freezing). But you need to mulch it well to assure the corm dosen't freeze, because they corm itself cannot be 25°F, but if the air around is that much then the ground would still be warmer.
