Thanks Mike for pictures sharing! Mine is a first season in the ground. Unlikely if I'll live my banana in the ground. There is too cold in winter time in Almaty...

If they send up pups from the ground you could always cut them away from the mother plant and then put them in pots indoors in winter so you have a backup.

You are right! Today I found one baby is popping up! I know our winter is pretty cold but we have a lot of snow at the same time. What's a great insulation!

Nice update Mike.
Your photos always look so surreal...great camera trick (if that's what it is 😀 )
You'll need help hauling that indoors.
Our summer isn't as hot as usual but I like it.
Especially now that I've given my m.basjoo musa to John... 😆 😆

Thanks Barb. I have been hearing about your cool summer...Must be odd. We haven't gone below 75 degrees low at night here in the past two months. Highs have been consistently in the 90s and even in low 100's hot and humid. I am not taking any bananas in this year. Too much other stuff!!!! Been quiet on here lately, I guess we are all outside..... 8) Nice chattin' with ya' Barb,
PS When is your daughter's wedding?????? Enjoy it!!!!!!
Mike

The reason for your plants' successes... 😀
I used to be a "sunworshipper"...the hotter the better.
Not any more.
Once I feel the heat of the patio through my sandals, that's hot enough 😆
It's an age thingy.
You're not taking any bananas in this Fall? 😕
Yup...a bit quiet ... lots of outside chores for everybody, especially the folks trying to keep stuff watered at 100+ F
Daughter's wedding is mid-Sept. (5 wks ... :help: ) 😆 😆

So are you enclosing/heating the others?
Or just treating them as annuals? 😕

The ones in the pics above were out all winter...mulched with leaves and mulch and then tar paper on top to keep some rain and snow out.

Must be nice to live in your zone... 😉

No need to apologise. I just bought one a few weeks back and I really wanna know what kind it is??? I think it may be a Musa Dwarf cavendish based on the way it looks and how it puts out three new leaves at a time. I will post some pics and hopefully some people can help me identify on here.
