Hi Phil.

I am new to the forum and not sure how (or if) I can contact you directly. I live in Toronto and work in Vaughan. I planted my first musa this July. It has done very well considering it was so late getting in the ground. It is now about 5' tall with HUGE leaves and 2 pups about 12" tall. I'm curious to know how you protect your plants in the winter in Vaughan? I'm guessing if they will grow in Vaughan, they will grow in Toronto.

I live just west of High Park in the Humber Valley. Our soil is VERY sandy. I have the plant in a raised bed. There is probably about 2' of very rich soil on top of pure SAND. Drainage is never a problem--watering it the problem.

Thanks so much,
Jeff
