Default Re: Water suckers

A Pstem is short for pseudostem, it's your banana plant's stalk.
Unless they are musa basjoo, forget leaving them in the ground as they will most likely never make it thru an Illinois winter...(Although in Central Illinois several years ago I did have a few unprotected gladiolus make it thru a winter there. It was a very mild winter, though.)
