First full shot of the manzano in a long time. I had it out for a few days in April and now we're having some scary cold. let's just say the highs are below 50F for the next week!

I'm going nuts waiting for this cold to end! Need to get everything outside. It's gotta end soon. Manzano looks amazing for being inside all winter!!! Great job.

Dwarf orinoco was planted in the ground today. It's coming back from close to a 3 foot p-stem.

Hey all here's a little May 26 update
Found another Manzano pic from October 2016. I'm glad I kept it going over the winter. The p-stem is getting pretty strong!

June 17
Pisang ceylon and the dwarf cavendish were planted in the ground a few weeks ago. All are growing very fast and both are sending up pups now. Inside the GH it's mostly bananas, citrus and succulent like plants. When they start to run out of room I'll just chop them back.
Here's a tease

Manzano July 7
I had it in the GH for 2 weeks until the weather warmed up. Finally now out for good. I noticed it's really leaning now (towards the camera) I will have to make a U support. I don't want to take any chances with the summer storms we get. Maybe a re pot this year? yikes!! Thanks for looking
