Default Re: My basjoos don't look very good

Angie it's the weather. In particular OUR weather here. It has been too inconsistent this year. It is just as bad here in Milwaukee. Warm days in betweeen cool days, and cold rains. While my mature in ground basjoo looks decent, it is only NOW starting to put out decent leaves that look good. Previous to this leaves were getting shredded in our winds or burned with our night time lows. That is what you are seeing. I have some smaller musa that look exactly like yours right now. Don't worry they are fine. Eventually you will get leaves that stay green without the dry patches. When you plant new ones it takes time for them to settle in, and our weather here doesn't help!
