winter
That doesn't look good. Hopefully the rest of winter is milder. I haven't seen that much snow here in many years.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Aaron, Some varieties can take forever but most germinate pretty easy. I think the m. Sikkimensis took about 8 months or so to germinate. Musa Ensete has been the easiest to germinate. Some Musa bananas you can usually only get pups from the mother plant. I have some M. Ensete seeds i can send you if you want to try them out? Once they sprout they really take off.
Regards,
Jay

Have you ever got your basjoo bananas to ripen? Some of those look like they are getting to a good size!

Wes ... the bananas in the above post by Laaz aren't Musa basjoo. (or have I misunderstood your question?)
I'm going to try a clump of Musa itinerans this spring to see how they do. I also have a healthy sized Ensete ventricosum 'Maurellii' I'll plant too. It's long since outgrown a 20 gallon pot. I have cut all the leaves off and have it stored in my crawl space at about 50f /10c under 8 hrs of light.
The only draw back to planting these is water. I have rocky sandy soil and not very good for banana cultivation. I'll have to make some amendments and mulch.
Cheers, Barrie.
