Musa Basjoo's came in today!!!
 

My basjoo's came in today. I ordered them on Friday. They shipped from Florida on Monday and they are here already!!!! I ordered them from gsawgle on Ebay for only $5.49 a piece!! I highly recommend this seller as they arrived in A+ condition. They are going in the ground in a few hours!

My dwarf cavendishes wilted a bit today. I think its from the transplanting/sun. I think they will bounce back though as the new growth doesn't look affected...just the older leaves.

Here is a pic of the basjoo's:

Excellent plants. I'm guessing you ordered from Wellspring. My basjoos were this big 4 years ago when I bought them. The first year they grew to 6 ft overall height. Then, they grew to 10 ft the next year, then 13 ft the year after, and now will probably approach 16 ft. They are fun plants!

Nice looking plants, Tim. Be sure to let us know how the overwinter for you next year!

Re: Musa Basjoo's came in today!!!
 

I will definitely let you know how they overwinter. I plan on just cutting them back to a foot and mulching over. Now I'm wondering if I should cover them with a tarp or not. The tarp could keep out moisture, but if moisture gets underneath, it also will trap moisture. The coldest we got the last two winters was about -5F. Although in the winter of 1996 we had -26F. Lets hope that doesn't happen.

I'm probably going to have about 30-40 basjoo's by the end of summer.
