New Owner of a Musa Basjoo May 7, 2008 02:55 PM

Hello, Its posible that if have covered it with plastic it may have some rot problem. Plastic does not breath as I found out a few years ago after wrapping one of my palms up. Your banana or part of what was sticking up in the ground could have sweated and because it was not able to breath. How soggy is the stem base. If its really mushi then its probably rotting. If this is the case you may try to chop to ground level and see what happens. We have several musa's in our garden and we just cut them right through (at base of lowest leaf). We rap them with some fleece and and when there ready they just grow out from the cut the following spring. It leaves them with a nice looking trunk effect. We are hoping to make 15 feet this year. Hope this may have been some help.  P.S hello to all as we are also new to this forums and we are from London UK... Edited by Banana_Shack on May 7, 2008 at 02:57 PM |
