Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

should i trim the outer leaves, or let them grow?

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

I know they will be ugly ......but maybe let them grow some ,more green =more growth.
Trim when it looks good.

Do I spy a couple of brugs off to the right???

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

yes, started from seed last spring. i was supprised how fast they grow.they are both white nothing special. but bloomed well.

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

So at what point do others take their protection off of their outdoor in ground bananas? I tried to peek at one of mine today, and I don't think it looked that great. I unboxed one of my palm trees today and the fronds were burnt pretty bad... so I'm guessing I'll be in for some disappointment with the inground bananas....

I heard some farmers in my area are saying frost went down 5-6 feet in the fields. Knowing that, would any musa basjoo make it through a winter?

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

White is special......the fragrance is to die for.

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

thanks Mike

judy thinks so to.she loves them,says they keep her awake and alert.just smelling them.i don't know if it really does.but she wants them so she will have them.

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

I think they smell like super concentrated Detergent Cheer from Procter and Gamble.
I can smell these when I pull into my driveway if the wind is right......love it.
The heavy fragrance of these on a hot July/August night is to die for.
Sorry for the links but Flikr has decided to change the lives of 1000s of posters..for the worse....this is the upgrade.

i don't know about the cheer, but she does love them.

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

Now that I told you you that......do a comparison sniff test when they bloom.:08:

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

"super concentrated Detergent Cheer from Procter and Gamble"

Huh?

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
 

Oops sorry for the confusion.. H.E. for water efficient top / front loaders.
To me the fragrance smells like the fragrance used in the popular clothing detergent Cheer. For me it is a distinct odor but heavier.
Made in the United States
Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio.


On the other hand the Pinaud/Seagrams distillery is 7miles to the west and it smells like sweet cereal..
or schnapps or what ever they are making.. Believe me I get the angels share
here in the valley....... hmmmm
Lawrenceberg, Indiana.

I was very worried about my Basjoos due to our cold Atlanta winter......they were left in ground and turned to mush. Well, now those same clumps are over 5' and thriving. Another area I had has sent out runners several feet away out into the yard, these things are almost invasive!! haha.
My Thai Giant colocasias have come back as well. One very weird thing is that all of my Cannas died. They are usually very hardy and come back no matter what.....not this year.
