Re: New Musa Basjoo Plant Arrived

Re: New Musa Basjoo Plant Arrived

Sounds like a good idea. The short plant is a corm that I bought online. It has been in the ground for a couple weeks and is now starting to push out new leaves.

Re: New Musa Basjoo Plant Arrived

Yes, I am in the same boat here in Utah. I planted my Basjoos a couple of weeks back and now we are forecasting two days of lows around 35-40F and highs around 47-52F, then it gets warm again. Crazy...

Re: New Musa Basjoo Plant Arrived

Good news, I took the advice to check local stores and found a nice Basjoo. It is roughly 3-3.5 feet tall with 4 leaves. The stem also appears to be fairly thick. If our nighttime lows are high 30's...

Re: New Musa Basjoo Plant Arrived

Thanks, good point. Maybe the TC plants are thinner as they start out. I will have to check my local Lowes and Home Depot.
