Re: M. sumatrana in 7b?
I mulched the bunch with over two feet of woodchips, and that with the winter wet that accumulated killed them all.

Re: dormancy in the pot?
I have over-wintered Musella lasiocarpa and Musa acuminata 'Rojo' in pots. The lasios were in 1 gallon pots ( 2 years old and very rootbound) and the Rojo was in a 10 or 12 inch pot.
The lasios were...

Maybe I'm imagining a true corm, as opposed to what is termed a corm in Musa, but wonder just how...

Re: Anyone recognize this one?
Joe~
From what I understand, they're all the same plant.
Musa acuminata 'Sumatrana' is 'Zebrina' is 'Rojo' is 'Bloodleaf' and vice versas.

Re: Anyone recognize this one?

Re: M. sumatrana in 7b?
Thanks Joe.
I planted the plant(s) fairly deeply, and will add some temporary soil and mulch over what is usually there. Unfortunately the plants aren't near a structure that might add some...

Anyone recognize this one?
I have a banana and I wonder what it is.

I'm doing this mostly on the reported success "Brent and Becky" have given in their bulbs...
