I had a customer that stopped in yesterday with his son. He reported that his 4 year old basjoo is up and kicking already. He said he cut it down to 1 foot tall and protected it with bags of leaves. It is already pushing growth about 6 inches tall right out of the center of last year's stalk where he cut it off. He showed me a picture on his phone.
I haven't checked mine yet, I'm a bad banana mommy! It's supposed to cool off later on this week again anyway.
