Congrats AA! As Bob said, $3 well spent, I do agree totally as even in a place like M'sia, the price of ornamental species musa is $15 and up! Great haul, and do keep us posted of its progress.

Wow! Definitely money well spent! Enjoy your nanner! Be sure to plant it outdoors this summer to give it the full growth potential! And it should be able to survive in your climate outdoors year-round! Good luck with it!

That's a great deal on any banana, congragulations on your find, I have had good luck with the plants I get from Lowes. I bought a couple of Basjoos from them last year and this season they are about 4 ft tall and puping like crazy. I think I read somewhere that they call get almost 18 ft tall.

That is so rewarding! Congratulations! I got a mahoi last month that was frozen back to the ground for one dollar and it has since put out about 30 pups in a spiral pattern around the corm. Isn't it cool to get a basjoo for nothing?
