Re: Musa Orinoco in Memphis
Pete, you've got to stop by here this summer to see my yard!!! It's bare now, of course! Maybe we can go to the house on Pine St. and ask for some pups?

Re: Musa Orinoco in Memphis
There is a house on Lynnfield rd that has bananas in the back yard. They come up every year from the ground. My friend lives down the street. Also my friends lasiocarpa comes back when mulched at her home in Memphis.

Re: Musa Orinoco in Memphis
Vickie, I've found musella lasiocarpa to be very cold hardy, and I believe it's almost cold hardy as Musa basjoo (if not equal in hardiness). Musa velutina is also very hardy, and you should try this variety as well. Out of these three, Musa velutina is my favorite because I like the little pink bananas it forms.
