Mike, glad to see you back.
Thought you were stuck in a snowbank. 😆
Your 17C oughta get them showing green in a day or two.
Thankfully they made it.
So did you. 😉
The winter of hell.

They're doing fine still at home pushing out leaves, now the ones down here at the beach place are slower to come back probably because they are a lot younger and smaller than the ones at home.... 🙁

hey Mike... looks like I've got a head start on you 😛 Mine stayed evergreen this year Even a Musa Sikkimensis remained unscathed
First opened leaf on the Musa Sikkimensis
I've a hunch yours will be taller by the end of the season 😉

Nice to see the musas coming back, what do you do to protect the trunk? I always cut mine to the ground and never protect them. I have about 14 little ones coming up, but old ones never come back.
I dug my musa sikkimensis for the winter and good thing. I have actually lost a musella lasiocarpa and muse velutina. I do have a baby musella and thai black.
