Default Re: Overwintering Musa Bordelon in zone 6-7

My Bordeleen's did not make it outside, so I wouldnt recommend trying to overwinter them in the ground in zone 6 or 7. But I did have 3 pups that I divided in the fall that I brought inside, I planted them outside about 3 weeks ago and they are growing again now. Planted on the east side of my house because bordeleen's do not like wind.

My Basjoos all came back for the 3rd year now. I was able to preserve 3 pstems and they are each over 7 feet tall now. I uncovered early this year on March 15th so my basjoos are 2 or 3 weeks ahead of the same time last year.
