Default Re: The correct hardiness of Musa basjoo

Hello fellow ardent admirers of Musa!
The hardy Musa basjoo that I planted in my garden in Port Moody, BC has tolerated 2 months of wretchedly hard freezes as low as minus 17 celsius!

Die back this year was right to the ground, and I even protected them....

The tips began to break the surface soil last week... much to my relief!

My neighbour had a string of bananas last fall... but they never ripen in our cool maritime climate...

I look forward to the new to me site!

Happy Days to all!

Roger
