Great. I haven't had nice experiences with my rajapuri, but maybe it was just because it isn't a very good cultivar when it comes to cold bare-root storage.

I have not looked at my thermometer to see what it gets inside the garage when we hit in the 30's. I would say in the 40 range maybe more. Maybe just a more then hardy one My VC and GN arent happy looking and they are potted up. Hopefully will have my floor of the greenhouse down so I can get them out there.

Well I can say the pups are getting bigger, but see there is decline in the banana fingers, upon a closer look I think it is rotting on the top of the P-stem.
