Re: First Bananas! Ottawa, Canada
So the leaves have an effect on how many bananas actually develop? I thought it purely used corm energy for that. Good to know! That will be a hard decision to make. :(

Re: First Bananas! Ottawa, Canada
No, I didn't do anything different. I think it was just ready!
It lives in a pot that comes into my plant room for the winter and outside for the summer.

Re: Musa Basjoo in Canada
That would certainly be the reason why basjoos would be more common.
I've used Mike before, particularly for trachycarpus fortunei. I wonder if he'd have musa velutina or veinte cohol?

Re: Musa Basjoo in Canada

Re: Southern Ontario members?
I'm the Ottawa guy with the ice cream banana. I moved last year, so I have been in transition, but I've got a much bigger space for my addiction hobby now. My current plant situation is a basjoo that...

Re: Ensete Ventricosum overwintering.....
You can cut them off or leave them on, either way. The roots won't survive through the winter anyway as they will just dry up, so you can do whatever is easiest for you.

Re: My Canadian Bananas and Tropicals

That's the plan, Dan. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I've got space to grow them over the winter with the rest of my tender tropicals. Thanks for your interest.

Looking for Veinte Cohol
