Best time to transplant Musa basjoo?
Hi
I am located in Georgia in zone 7-8, I have some Musa basjoo in ground dormant right now. I want to relocate them in my front yard. When is the best time to dig them? I suspect now since in the spring they will start putting roots in. Thanks for the help Patrick |

Re: Best time to transplant Musa basjoo?
I too have a basjoo that must move. It is a little cooler here in St. Louis. The stiff psudostem just softened and fell to the ground this week.
Should I move it now or wait till the shoots begin coming out of the ground? |

not the best time to do it now unless they are growing root system has to be working so they get established into their new spot.

Re: Best time to transplant Musa basjoo?
I usually let mine come up in the spring to a good size, and then I dig them up so that I can see how many there are and I divide them when I dig them up. If you've got 3-4 shoots coming up off of one from last year, wait until the smaller shoot is around a foot or two tall. If you're going to plant them deeper, you've got to let them get taller first.
