Wanted Musa Basjoo
 
I imagine this is the wrong time of year for trying to get one or more. Figured I'd give it a shot. I'd like to have one to watch grow while I'm waiting for spring. I bought one off of Amazon but it's not doing anything what so ever since I bought it. The reviews aren't so hot either but figured I'd give it a shot.

I bought a few different bananas from Green Earth co to watch grow till spring lol and they are all putting out new leaves and growing. They are in my bird room where I keep the temp at 70 degrees and bright lights. My big bananas are in an unheated garage for the winter.

green earth ships nice healthy tissue culture plants but they are all wonder bananas you wonder what they are most are dwarf Cavendish regardless of what you order they are a good choice if the variety dosent matter

I have a garage but it's separate from the house and cold enough that water freezes out there. Wasn't sure if that was an option or not.
