Re: Successful Fruiting in zone 6??
well, I didn't post anything last year, the winter knocked them clear to the ground, the musa basjoo grew to 8' and no flowers and died at first frost, however....I did cover them differently this past winter as I have been experimenting. I uncovered them 2 weeks ago and have a solid stem in ALL of last years plants at least 18: or more high and as soon as I uncovered them they started growing. I have them now under clear plastic for the "green house effect". My skimeneskises (sp?) has also survived with a solid stem, but my black thai is mush....I have however ordered a replacement if it don't come back....and if it does, ill make room for a 2nd. Pics will be coming this week.
