Wow that is gorgeous. Mine has started to come up now, i have 3 leaves. I think it will take a while for it to grow larger for our winter has been very long. I have 2 stalks, one with two leaves and one just starting it's first one. Do they grow this large every year?

Thank you!
Michelle

My stem seems really soggy. I will wait and see what happens though like you say. Worse case I may have to dig it up, I sure hope not. I was so excited about having it. We will see what May-June brings. I will let you know how it all works out. Thanks for the added info about weatherizing it. We start blooming now with daffodills, tulips, now the lillies are breaking ground.
Thanks again

Michelle

I am new to the banana family and have a few questions. One of the women I did some yard work for last year gave me a start of a banana plant. I do not even know what kind it is. Hers were very tall and very beautiful. She said that they die back every year and then come up again in spring. Mine at this point has not started to come up yet. Does anyone know when it is supposed to start coming up? I trimmed it back last year to the ground, and the stump is still above ground about a 1/2 inch. I covered it with plastic for the winter since I am in Oregon. The stump looks to be dead, but I was not sure if I should did the root to see if it has survived or not. Help
