- How did the Musa Basjoo hold up after the winter? Did the Musa Glaucum also known as the snow banana survive outdoors? In this video you can find out different ways to get your banana's through the winter period and how fast they can recover in one season.
I think that you need to put a fence around it without mulch, to let it air and then an second and maybe even a third fence with mulch , leave a lot of airspace between the layers….I think….😆….gonna try that upcoming winter.🌱
Thanks for the comment! Indeed ventilation is a big issue for rotting. It is quite some work but the payoff is great for spring, summer and part of the fall.
I would love to hear the results!
Musa Basjoo is very tough and a fast grower. Very nice 👍🏼
Thanks for your comment! Indeed a lovely tropical plant that’s quite easy to keep.
@@pencilntools Can you spell the name of the red plant please? Its beautiful.
@@steffiejoe thanks for your comment. That is the Ensete Ventricosum Maurelli. A solitair banana variant. Enjoy it!
What is the name of your palm growing near the banana plants? Also did you cover them over the winter? Thanks, you plants looks great!!
@@dickymiller7196 great question! Those are Trachycarpus Fortunei. They can stay outdoors up to -18°C without protection. These where not covered during the winter and i couldn't find any signs of stress on them.
I also have some younger ones, about 1/3 the size of these, they where exposed to direct Northern wind. They lost the upcoming spear (new leaf) but fully recovered in the late summer. So for younger plants i recommend to provide frost protection starrting from -10°C so they can keep on groing.
Hope it helps!
What is the name of the red banana?
That is the Ensete Maurelli Ventricosum. Very nice banana with thick leaves. Br,
@@pencilntools I got my first Musa Basjoo this year. The Maurelli looks pretty nice. Will buy two for my terrace very soon.
@@michaelhauke4849 it's going to make it very tropical, nice!!
I thought -15 C = 5 F and -5 F = -21 C
You are right, thanks for noticing my typo! I will adjust this to the correct value!
One winter I did nothing to the musa basjoo, left the leaves on as protection and it survived well. We had a mild winter with only a couple of - degrees Celsius. Did the same trick the next winter…😭😭😭😭 …my heart was broken and I had a basjoo funeral.
That is always the risk. Usually we have mild winters as wel, but just one night of harsh conditions and you will have to start from the bottom up again. Hope your plant managed to regrow a bit again.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 tis only a plant 🤣
