First year Musa Basjoo success in NJ!!

clarejoe · 04-09-2010, 02:28 PM

Covered with black bags of leaves and uncovered them last week, they are growing already! I also separated two pups from the mother and transplanted! Very happy

I want to post pics but don't know how!!

To post pics, go to the picture in your gallery (click photo gallery on the blue bar, then select 'my photos' near the top L). Once you're looking at the picture, highlight/copy the second coding that appears below the pic (says 'Code for html sites'). You can use the buttons on your browser to copy (edit>copy) or just press control and C at the same time after the text is highlighted. Then paste that coding into your post (edit>paste or control-V) and submit! Hope that makes sense, I can give you more details if you like.

Thanks for those instructions to post pics! Here they are!

LilRaverBoi · 04-09-2010, 06:02 PM

Sweet! Looks like your basjoos are coming along well. Definitely off to a good start. Best of luck!

And your welcome for the instructions...just glad I could help.

Dean W. · 04-09-2010, 07:08 PM

Great job!

Bob · 04-09-2010, 08:42 PM

Well done! Wish mine looked a nice... are you in south Jersey? My p-stems turned to mush but the corm on at least one is good so I should have some pups coming soon.

john_ny · 04-10-2010, 11:08 AM

Last year, I had very good results; managed to save the corms, and all the p-stems, right up to the top, so I figured I'd do the same thing this year. I got the stems covered with newspaper, and plastic, and got the wire cage around them, but never got it filled with leaves, or the tarp over the top. As a result, the stems were mush, but a couple of the corms were good. However, the ones that I took inside (as reported in my thread, "Basjoos out of storage") did fine, and are growing now. The growing is rather slow, as the temperatures have cooled down considerably again. We had a teaser day, last week, of 92°F, but now we're back down to the 50s and 60s, maybe even 40s, at night.

yes I am in South Jersey and we had one of the coldest snowiest winters on record, and these babies did just fine! they are now uncovered and unless we are going to have a hard frost, they will stay that way. We had a few days of 85-90 temps and they started to grow immediately! The growth has slowed down due to normal spring time temps and colder nights. Hope they get taller than last year (1st year planted grew to about 6 feet)

jimhardy · 04-16-2010, 01:49 PM

They have a good start though and should keep right on going.
Hope the weather stays warm for ya!

Last 2 springs have been chilly,my Bananas are ahead of where they were last year in May

jamesdart · 04-18-2010, 08:34 AM

damn. mine turned to mush. i uncovered all the leaves from them the other day and they really look liek they died.

Bob · 04-18-2010, 09:23 AM

Don't give up so easy. I've had a few turn to mush only to send up a pup after some extended warm weather.

jamesdart · 04-18-2010, 07:47 PM

i can only hope. they arent the easiest things to find locally.
