Default Basjoo's in the heat.

My Basjoos are doing horible this year. the temps have been near 100 for 3-4 weeks. They are much smaller than normal. They seem to stand still and put on a leaf every 10 days or so. They are growing in a pure organic soil mulched up gettin 6-7 hrs a day in the same spot they've been in for 4 yrs. My buddies are doing great but recieve a lot more shade and no afternoon sun. Thinking about moving them next year to a shadier area. Basjoos seem to prefer less light and grow well in a semi shade area where obviously the temps are lower. Any thoughts on growing them in the shade or tips please charm in. Thanx in advance.-Nate

I hear that Basjoos don't like high temps in general. But they do better in cooler temps where many other bananas start to slow down.

My Basjoo never do well during mild winters and hot summers, they have always liked cold winters and mild summers without the extreme heat .

When I moved to the desert, I brought along my basjoos. They all died the first summer. Even the ones planted in full shade.

Moving them seems like a good idea. Partial shade produces better foliage, in my experience.

Mine seem to be doing good. they are on the east side of house. it has been around 100 F for the last 2 weeks. they get full sun till around 2pm. I live in the okanagan in BC Canada. We normally get very little wind. I try to water the banana plant every morning before going to work when it is this hot. It has 4 pups off it now. I also took 2 pups and planted in less sunny areas will see how they do.

It was very hot here for the past two weeks we had one day at 37 ( 100f)!The hottest it's been in three years. Otherwise it's been in the low to mid 30s I think that's around 90 F but today it's pretty Nasty only 17C. I eish our winters were more like the okanogans. It just goes from one extreme to another.
