Haven't updated in awhile, so I thought I'd share pics with you guys.

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.

Thanks for the comments.

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