Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later! Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't happen last year. Three pups have emerged in the yard this year. I found one of them by stepping on it, and another after mowing over it, lol. I noticed the first one (on the far left in the picture) before mowing it over though. Guess it's time to start digging pups, or extend the bed! Hmmm...I do need to get rid of some more grass. Maybe I'll just extend the bed, lol. I count 24 pseudostems so far, including emerging pups. A low of 3F, and several other single digit nights this winter, including two 60 hour freezes, didn't seem to faze it at all. The three largest pseudostems were protected with bags of leaves, but none of the others were even mulched and came back also! In my most humble opinion, this Musa is just as hardy, if not more so, than Musa basjoo.
