Banana and EE bed. Ensete maurelii, musa basjoo, and EE black magic. I wonder how big the basjoo and ensete will get by October 1st? These were all 4 inch tall seedlings in May.

Can't wait to see final growth, but it's bittersweet because I don't want it over either!

Looking great Tim!

It looks like your nanas are already ahead of last year at this time. Isn't it fun to watch established trachys grow! They are my favorite palm for sure, there so forgiving too.

Keep us updated.

Jim -

I can't wait for the ensete to get huge. I love how they look!

Bill -

Here is a picture of my orinoco from 7/23/09 (so about 2 weeks later in the season than we are now).

Here's the trachy in the first pic from end of June last year.

Very very nice! What do you do with all of these during th winter??

wxman · Post by **wxman** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 5:39 pm

Thanks for the comments.

Palms will get heated huts and the bananas will get stored bare root in the basement.
