Default Greetings from PA!
I'm new to bananas but have wanted one for a while. Bought a musa basjoo this spring and just picked up two more today from a local nursery on clearance for one dollar each! They are about 12-15" and have several leaves. I am assuming I should keep them in pots for the winter indoors. Wish me luck!

Basjoo is very cold hardy. Check with some members here from PA or similar before relegating it to the indoors for winter.

I'm in West Chester PA near Philly. Much to my surprise my Basjoo, which lives under a pile of greenhouse waste made it through last winter. wish me luck with a Texas Star.

That's good to hear given what a brutally cold winter it was! I'm near Reading so not too far from West Chester. We had a pool put in last summer and lots of landscaping done in the fall. Only a few things didn't make it through the winter. I potted up a black raspberry that was in ground right where our fence was going and much to my delight it survived the winter in a pot left outside! Seriously debating on planting my bananas outside and just saving the four little pups indoors as back up.
