    Join me on the journey of growing this giant tropical in my southeastern Wisconsin garden.

    love the bananas !!! those big ole leaves gently waving in the breeze - very peaceful and soothing. At our former home, my banana was right outside our bathroom window and I loved it !! Here in N. Atlanta (Georgia) I have the musa basjoo and am lucky to be able to leave it in the ground over winter. I just cut it back to the ground and mulch it up really good. The "mother" plant dies but sends up new pups each year, so if you start out with one you'll (eventually) end up with 10 or 15 or 20 !!!! I love your red banana and just may give it a try this year. Thanks for sharing all your tips & tricks, encouragement and inspiration !!!!

    I watch some Vietnamese ladies garden, building their home, sell produce, small game farming, etc. on RUclips. Their banana trees are VERY prolific and grow just about anywhere. I think about the only thing that would kill them is the cold winters we have. To bad your growing season isn't like theirs and you could get bananas. Enjoy as much as you can!

      @BobbieJeanM 4 месяца назад +1

      Amazing and encouraging! I am in zone 7 near the east coast so I never thought it might winter over here. And I wouldn’t be able to lift it to take it inside for the winter. Maybe now I will try planting one on the southeast side of my house which is protected from wind and the blazing afternoon sun! Hopefully I can find one around here.

    I got one last year and planted it in the ground. It did okay but didn’t get huge. Last fall I dug it up, cut it way back and put it in a small pot in an unheated garage. This spring I potted it up properly and it is already going strong. I suspect the pot will not be big enough.
