If your night time temps are normally above 40 now I would put them out now. Did you overwinter indoors or in the ground outside? I have done both and I have found that keeping in the ground outside is much better as opposed to bringing indoors, thats only if you have a cold hardy type. In Michigan I think only musa basjoo would survive in the ground over the winter. If you do overwinter in the ground use lots of leaves to cover and cover with a plastic trap to keep the leaves dry.

I was able to keep 2 feet of p-stem alive for 2 of my basjoo clumps, I uncovered them 2 weeks ago and now one plant is already 4 feet tall. I had to cut one back to the ground and its only about 6 inches tall now.

If you have had indoors all winter, be very carefull to slowly re-introduce to the sun and wind outside. Good luck
