Re: Lowest temps for Saba?

Hi Blownz,

I am committed to experimenting. Thus if you have several sabas, you might want to

If your area is subject to short...

Thank you Darkman, I did not delete any of those, which I thought most

Where is the administrator???

Okay, last night I deleted 100 pictures from my gallery. One should think, that
this will create room for two new ones. Not so!

I do not see any point in throwing all these photos out, if there...

The only thing I can think of is to place some removable contraptions like the one pictured in

Re: Did I Over Do It? Over Over Wintering in the Desert

I also live in an arid region, just north of the north tip of the Sonoran Desert.
However it gets a whole lot colder here than in your parts, so my experience applies
only conditionally:

Re: Musa basjoo zone 4a

Hi Montgomery,

this is a nice looking couple of basjoos!

That pup looks quite ready to make it on its own. But I left #1, 2 and 4 of the first 4 pups
attached to make a pad and used #3 for...

Hi Montgomery,

if you live in Edmonton my offer is valid. I cannot send any plants to the US. They are afraid
it would destroy their flourishing banana industry. :ha: Seriously, I believe the...

Re: Experiment: How much cold can a banana take?

Hi Migael,

I believe that the hardiness of bananas pertains strictly to the corm, Which is rated HZ5
in basjoos. However the leaves freeze off at temperatures experienced in HZ 8 or 9.

Re: Little Greenhouse Enough for a Few Freezes?

With all due respect, Janet, if your mother plant froze up previously, it has taken more than
briefly a couple of degrees below freezing. The cold temperatures have to be low enough
and last long...

Re: propagating musa bajoo

Yeah Tim,

it is a bit like having a premature baby. With a lot of good care, it will probably pull through,
but it is preferable to let it come to full term. :ha:

Actually I am glad you said that,...

Re: propagating musa bajoo

Hi Pony,

If you know, that it has no roots, then you also must have seen the corm. If it is at least the
size of a walnut, stick it into a pot with normal soil mix. Keep the growing environment...

Re: Cutting corms in fall?

Hi Jeanne,

so bare root it is. I have no direct experience in that, but since I cannot comment on blooming

Re: frustrated by winter, musa bajoo

Hi Pony,

as a fellow HZ6 grower, who is going into the fifth winter leaving the basjoo outside, I would
strongly recommend, that you leave them outdoors and protect them there. I have done a fair...

Re: Two bananas

Well, I was aware, that all grasses were monocots (I have sown enough of them to know :)).

Re: Two bananas

Hi Richard,

I believe that is a different method of distinguishing between plants. Lettuce is clearly a
dicot, but a ‘staude’ I have no idea, if bananas or cannas are monocots, because I have...

Re: Two bananas

The Germans have a category for plants, in which the leaves grow straight out of the ground
like in pineapple, aloe, lettuce and sometimes form pseudo stems like in bananas and cannas.

It may well be, that leaves of banana plants are not capable of absorbing that...

moss (1/3rd) by volume for all my potting needs, indoor and out. I had the odd little
