Hi, this spring/summer will be my first attempt at growing a banana plant. I decided on the Musa Basjoo, as I read that its one of the most cold hardy plants. I will definately need that and warm wishes to survive the Upstate NY winters! I will be planting them to give my pool area a tropical feeling that we rarely get up here. My yard gets direct sun almost all day, so hopefully that will be a plus. I have read alot of posts already, and the information will be invaluable to me, as I am a complete newbie! I am open to any advise to help me along this process!
Thanks, and looking forward to learning and growing!!!!
