My first year with Musa Basjoos overwintered in the ground in Zone 6 Ohio. Looks like they made it. Trunks are firm at the base and pups are still green and look as if they even grew some this winter. All i did was cut down to 16" and covered with 2.5 bags of cypress mulch each. I was kinda scared if they would make it because i didnt get them till late August early September. I uncovered them yesterday and will leave them uncovered until we get cold weather coming back. I figured the warm days will help them get a jump start on the growing season. Well here are the pics everyone is welcome to post their pictures and results in this thread also....Thanks
This was my largest one that grew to be about 6-7 feet last year.Trunk is still firm at the base and all 5 pups from last year look to still be alive.
The smaller one planted it real late in the season too. Was about 3.5 feet. Trunk is still firm at the base and the 2 pups from last year look to still be alive.
