Default Re: Part 2 of this story

My first nana was one i found last year on clarence at home depot. The tag on it said "basjoo". Once I found this wonerful site I compared members pictures of Dwarf Cavendish to this mystery tree. My tree looked like everyother Dwarf Cavendish. Well I followed all of your wonderful tips on growing the nana and even after wintering it in the sunroom, to my surprise I actually made it survive the winter. Fast foward to April 1st. The weather is great and the lows at night are above 40 degrees. I put the tree outside still in the pot. All was good for 2 weeks. Almost over night it turned brown and died. It never frosted or got below 40 recently. Well lucky for me I still am reading old threads because I was going to throw it away, but lo and behold this week I saw green..Yeaaaaaa I think its coming back..I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
