Re: The correct hardiness of Musa basjoo
I dug up the corm from my overwintered basjoo yesterday. I had thought it was completely dead but surprisingly there was still a good portion of hard corm underground although not as much root development as I would have liked. I decided to plant it in a large pot along with a couple of others and will overwinter it this year indoors hoping that by starting with a larger more established corm and root system will overwinter even better the following year. I also decided that my hay bale method might not have provided enough contact with the ground as a pile of leaves would have so the insulating value was less than it should have been....live and learn.
