Default Re: Musa sp.yangtse and Musa sp.Tibet

Tony, I have just been told by Chad that I can have a small pup of Tibet So I will grow it on and hopefully get a pup as a back up and then it can be tried outside.

I found what I thought was a dead stump of Cheesmanii yesterday in the garden and when I went to pull it up it felt solid at the roots. I got my knife and cut into the stem halfway down and it is still Alive!!!

It was frosted and the top went mushy so I thew one of those seethru plastic domes over the top and it must of been enough to keep it alive during the winter. We had -8 TOO!!.

So maybe another one to add to the semi hardy list eh.
