Re: Travelling basjoo
Step on it and fill it in with compost. If its not soft yet, wait it out.

Re: Travelling basjoo
I grow in a tropical rainforest that often has significant winds so I might do things a little different than others. If your only concern is it being unsightly the upper portion can be removed with a shovel or knife and that should only take a few seconds.
Understanding what's happening below ground might be helpful so I added a photo. The central cylinder is the first to rot and the cortex will last quite a bit longer. By punching a hole through the bottom of the cortex it won't collect water. I prefer just removing most of the old rhizome, especially the cortex, if it can be done quickly because the second generation plants tend to lean away and if that void is filled with a solid material like dirt it'll prevent those plants from falling over more easily.

Re: Travelling basjoo
Excellent, the centre is springy perhaps the coming winter will sort it out.
I live on a cliff top over looking the sea so also have very strong winds that love to shred a big beautiful banana leaf. |
