The first palm looks settled in. Your yard looks great and I love your grass! So jealous. Very very impressive.

Short list:
Musa Basjoo
Musa Thai Black
Musa Saba
Enstet snow banana
Musa yunannensis
Many forms of colocasia
Cannas

Started musa seed recently

No palms yet. I'm quickly, or already, run out if room. Once I get more time I'll get more pics up.
Hi Eric,

The first palm has been in the ground since July 2008. I overwinter it outside. The other palms I planted this spring and will be overwintering them outside also. Everything else comes in and today was the day I dug everything. Frost tonight! Yippee!
