Re: To Cut the Rachis or Not, That is the Question

Re: Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my Musa Basjoo by these pics?

Fortunately 100 degrees or better is uncommon. Most summer days are in the low to mid 90's with humidity over 70 %. The humidity is usually higher in the morning and lowers a bit in the...

Wink Re: To Cut the Rachis or Not, That is the Question

To Cut the Rachis or Not, That is the Question

Hello to All
