Default Re: Basjoo overwinter pics

I had to take a peak at one of my protected basjoos, and surprisingly the stems are still as green as they were when I covered them. I don't know if that means they'll pick off where they left off, but based on how they look, they are definitely still alive. It will be at least 2 months before they start growing, but I'm glad to see they're OK. I'm sure other people in the Ontario region understand how I feel, this being the first winter I-ve over-wintered bananas. It got down as low as -9F which is extremely cold for where I'm at, which makes it even more amazing.

How's it looking for everyone else?
