Re: Musa AE AE pictures & question
I hope so Jim, it will be fun to watch! Hopefully the wind doesn't beat it up to much, I'm going to tuck it into a pretty sheltered spot. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hey Jesse,
Yeah, the big one has sprung up for sure, the smaller one is working on roots I'm thinking.

Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
Crabman,
I'm interested what other plants you are growing down the cape. Where are you located? The Island side of the cape has some serious microclimates!
Thanks

Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
Nice plants tmc2009
You have the right idea planting them in big wide pots if your overwintering them inside.
It's about time we get some real nana growing weather here.

Re: Musa Basjoo?
Don't worry about the red in basjoo, they often grow red when there maturing. My very large patch is showing similar characteristics after a cold winter.

Re: fertilizer for Musa Basjoo
Clare,
I hear you on the shipping costs on the nana fuel. I used it last year with crazy results, I'm ordering again even if it seems high. You could always order enough for two years.
