We join Chris from 'Our Garden Podcast' as he helps his good friend Mark remove and pot up a tropical plant bed ready for the big move. #youtube #gardening ing
I took a small cutting off my MB in early Summer which was a few inches high, by September it was three feet high in a pot which is now in a cold greenhouse to be planted out. Amazing plants.
My daughter moved house at the end of June last year and we had the same task with up rooting her huge clump of Musa basjoo,s , I was lucky enough to be given two descent 6 foot trunks plus a pup on one , I planted them in my garden soon as and they took producing several new very long leaves and looked fantastic . I have protected them over winter and they seem to be ok so far here in Doncaster so I,v no doubt you also will have the same results this year with yours , all the best to you
It's a bit of a mission hey 😂 I think we got enough rootball on each one to survive so fingers crossed they keep their height and give a good show this summer. Always worth giving it a go 🌴
Don't envy you moving that large Basjoo. I have done it here and their underground pseudostem is huge and heavy and a real pain in the back to dig out. Good luck!!!
Fantastic work. Is it a good time to split musa basjoo? I have a grove of 9 to split and replant into another area of the garden. Great the process and division. Thanks.
@@GardenMyselfHappy to be honest, I'd rather had moved them when the frosts were over and the ground was a tad warmer but we had no choice. They're so hardy, I doubt it will really make a difference when they're moved so long as the ground isn't frozen 🌴
@@Ourgarden-podcastthanks, I'll wait a few weeks, I'm in SW Wales so last frost date is technically may, but by the coast we don't get too much. Hopefully yours do great. And they all make it. Lovely group of plants.
@GardenMyselfHappy I think light frosts will be absolutely fine, just not temperatures where the ground literally freezes solid..again they'll probably be fine but if you can't wait a few weeks I really would. Yep, I don't blame him for taking them all with him. Would cost a small fortune to replace nowadays too. Fingers crossed 🌴
