  • We're heading into year three with my red Abyssinian banana (Ensete 'Maurelli') and I'm bringing you along on the potting up journey again, as well as looking back at last year's potting up fiasco.
    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 !!!!

    She's backkkkkkk!!!!! You inspired me to purchase a banana plant last spring. By the end of the summer, she had grown through the half barrel wooden container. Completely destroyed the pot. So, I put her in the ground for the winter and she is already growing. Zone 7.

      @BobbieJeanM 9 месяцев 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.
