Re: Survived the freezes, but now are dead??
Here in the UK we grow different types of bananas - more hardy types, but even they have suffered this year. I have noticed that some of my M Itinerans, instead of re-starting their main pseudostems (which have not rotted though) have put out lots of pups round the base. I guess they are going to start from scratch again and abandon their old pseudostems?
E Ventricosum Maurellii is back growing again rapidly, despite being soaking wet and waterlogged all winter - new leaves shooting up now.
M. Sikkimensis is growing again rapidly and helen's hybrid.
A few violet flowering bananas have made it.
However, it was a very cold winter and I even lost some tiny M. Basjoos! Only tiny ones though.
M Velutina all got wiped out. Frost got outdoor ones and all brought indoors, immediately flowered and died.
