Default Re: musa basjoo in oregon zone 7-8

Like previously said, the reason Basjoos are so popular and common is because even in zone 7 and 8, you can leave them completely alone during the winter and they'll still pop up new shoots in the spring. If you want your plants to get taller or flower though, best to leave them in the ground not indoors in pots, and cover them with some form of insulation so that the stem doesn't freeze, thus the next year the stem continues growing instead of dying back to the ground.
