The others were smaller, and they also were inside, under T5 lights. I had 7 all together, most Musa Basjoo's, all well tended, and summered out on my deck, in large pots.
I wish I'd not been so depressed. I sit here at the computer, and just out side the window are my freezing bananas. Is it too late? Can I got out there now and pull the smaller ones into the garage or basement? If the leaves are dead, are the corms dead too?? I have no excuse....but can someone help me with this?   |
Last year I left my red out too long and the leaves were dead by frost. I still brought it into my garage and it survived. Mind you only the leaves were affected by the frost, not the stem.....good luck and I would be depressed if it snowed here too!!
