Nate - actually your Maurellii looks great - I'm guessing you've overwintered it at least one year already? First of all it's in a pot and they need more attention in a pot than in the ground - secondly we are growing fancy banana-cousin plants in the Midwest! - I heard that bananas are only slightly harder to grow for pplz in Ca than dandelions are for us in Ohio or PA! ;-) My neighbors said I was cruel when I put it out my bananas when there was still snow on the ground (but on a 50 something degree day) in late Feb (the pic is further down in this post) - I want my bananas to be tough - they need to know that they are no longer in Abysinnia - where ever that is! LOL

I still would like to see the progress of a Maurelli that someone kept wrapped and semi-bareroot over the winter in a basement or garage - especially since I may have to keep it over next winter that way because of the size they are packing on!
