Re: Happy Birthday Lou
That is what my mahoi, namwah and dwarf Cavendish look like. I planted mine at the end of June and they were tiny.

Re: Happy Birthday Lou
It's been a great first year. Looking forward to seeing what winter does. If it gets crazy I might throw some trash bags over them and will definitely mulch heavily but otherwise will let the chips fall where they may.

Re: Happy Birthday Lou
Yea they definitely do not like frost! You could just wrap the pstem with some frost cloth so she starts growing from here next season..

Re: Happy Birthday Lou
Except that time a few years ago when a foor of ice and snow stayed on the ground for 2 or 3 weeks. I actually had a few planted and that wiped those out......except 1 little Bordelon popped up a few months later.

Great idea, I just mentioned the same on another post. Those things are amazing, and really help preserve banana height, and thus time to fruit. I wonder how far north these work... |
