Nice!
It is 22oF as I type this, and the palm hut heater has been going a lot--needs more insulation before we get colder next week.

I did have an early "spring" here in November, back when it was so frigid in Canada. My Musa all put out a full new leaf and started on a 2nd new leaf.
Gone now, but here is how they looked for a while last month.

Do you have any bananas left outside?

Just the mother plants, they are covered though: cut back mulched and covered with plastic. I have the five foot pups in the house and they are doing great....Huge! I still have not had a freeze though here, just a frost on two mornings....It will come this week I'm sure

What will you do with your bananas in the picture above??

Very little. I'll cut the stems, spray with fungicide and toss some hay over. Or do nothing at all. They are root hardy here with no care.
You?
