![]() I'm jealous! You didn't screw up like I did. I think I would have lost mine from neglect if not for my wife. Now it's like I'm trying to save a dying patient.

![]() I left several of my big ones out and they were hit by our mid November frost. I think it was 30f or so for a few hours.
Musa Fei I can confirm has absolutely 0 cold hardiness. They make cavendish look like a basjoo!!! I still believe they will fruit in South FL and southern CA. At the time of the cold my largest outside was about 4’ tall. Big beautiful leaves!

![]() It was the old "lack of water because you watered too much and the roots died" or "lack of water because you didn't water enough" question. I think I made a mistake by up-potting it when I brought it in the house after I noticed that it was drowning and that winter was almost on me. I think the bigger pot made it harder to tell if it was too much/not enough. I tried checking the pot to see if it was dry but I was never sure. Meanwhile the leaves died, one by one. When the last one died I cut it off at ground level and repotted it into a smaller pot, hoping that it would make pups. Yay! So far I see two tiny pups! When they get a little bigger I will separate them. Come spring I will keep one in a pot and plant the other in the ground next to our house at Sargent in 9B.

![]() Can you post pics of the pups please? I have a pup emerging from a plant I cut off that got VERY unhappy with the mid to low 40 degree weather and constant wind on it during that time.
