I cut my musas back last night at about 5:00 pm...When I went outside today they had already pushed out about 1' of growth in 15 hours...Amazing!!!!! I gotta get them covered before frost or first freeze comes in a few weeks week or so....!

Mike,
I know...I know...trust a woman to ask: that's a
foot?
If your first freeze is expected in a couple of weeks, it'll grow 3 feet in that time.
That thing's on super-juice!

LMAO!
Yeah, I see 12" there.
Seriously, I am challenged in the Musa department. Please let know: why to you cut them? Mine have dead leaves but I leave the healthy stems alone on the assumption that nutrients get taken down to the roots. Should I cut them? What does that do for them? --Erik

I'm just cutting mine back and keeping them dry so they don't rot. Never did it before....We shall see...

Thanks. It hasn't really been that cold here yet, today back to 60...seasonable I guess.
