Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will dig it up and pot it for the winter seems like the best thing to do considering I live in a zone 5b where the winter would only put more stress on it (even in the palm put) and if it comes back to a good healthy state I will put it in the ground next ...

I do have clay around here however I don't think that the tree is sitting in it because it is further down then where I planted it. But if I am wrong and somehow it is sitting in clay would the solution simply be to dig out as much clay as I can and replace it with regular top soil? or is it already ...

Well, I cut mine t about hip high, build a cage of chicken wire around them with top open, mulch with oak leaves and cover qith a grill cover.

Just wait, they get huge under the right conditions. Are you going to keep it in the ground overwinter? I am going to keep it in the ground for the winter (with some winter protection of course). Hope it survives. It's a beautiful plant! What zone are you, where do you live?? I'm 7a (Southern New ...

Thank you everyone for your help and replies. I didn't realize how fast basjoos (or perhaps its banana plants in general) grow. That picture is from a few weeks ago and it has grown about 4 inches taller and there are 6 pups growing as well, 2 of them about 6 inches already! Thanks again to all ...

I bought it at a local convience store next to my house and I thought I'd take a chance and hope its a basjoo. Thanks for your help in advance! http://s14.postimage ...
