Don what a tropical forest it has become.
No wonder your neighbor feels at home looking at your yard! :D
Everything looks so healthy, fab size leaves, and man, what growth they've put on this year, wow.

I look at my puny little wind-whipped musa and am ready to move it where it might be happier!
Your stuff is great.

some day when I grow up I want a tropical jungle just like tropicman from Wichita KS.

Don - Forgive me if you've mentioned this before, but where do you keep all the plants in wintertime. Do you overwinter alot in dormant storage? Please advise.
Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)
