Musa Basjoo in the Northwest Sep 21, 2007 05:56 PM
(Total replies: 0)
Need some advice... started out with 2 beautiful musa basjoos 3 years ago that were given to us by a good friend who had more than he needed. They have survived 2 Seattle winters and this summer, after my husband seperated a single pup from one of them, we have about 10 pups grown off the mother, including said seperated pup. They are apprx. 8-9 ft tall. I would like to seperate some of them and move them around but am not really sure when I should attempt it. The weather here is still quite mild...today is in the high 60's. Should I wait until the spring?

yellowing leaves on my Musa Basjoo Jul 15, 2006 02:37 PM

Aloha Kahoa, When you say feed them often, what do you feed them with? We have been feeding them basic "Miracle Grow" for lack of something better. Any suggestions? and how often is often? I tell you I've not loved a plant like this ever and it's been very exciting for us to watch these beauties grow. It's really sparked our interest in tropicals and though we live in the Pacific Northwest I know we can achieve the "tropical" look if careful and deliberate. So...what about these gingers from the Himilayas? Any idea what they're called or where I might find them? and wow! you grow tropicals in Michigan, that's very encouraging! It must have been a shocking change from your homeland. Living in Hawai'i has always been a dream of ours. Just seems too expensive and out of reach. Anyway thanks again for all the great advice!  Aloha, TPL101

yellowing leaves on my Musa Basjoo Jul 14, 2006 03:01 PM

Aloha, thanks so much for the reply! No brown dried centers and the tree really looks healthy, just a little yellowing on the leaves so I think you are right---just it's unique coloration. I have to stop worrying. One more question while I'm at it though: my trees have not produced any pups. What may be the reasoning for this? I went by a plant store the other day and they had many small basjoos in containers and all of them had one or more pups. Is there something I can do to encourage this as we would love more trees?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site but am excited about all the information being passed around in regards to tropical plants, of which I am also new to. I am the proud Mama of two Musa Basjoo trees that a good friend passed on to our family. Apparently we have done something right because they survived their first winter in the Pacific Northwest since their transplantation and they are about 6 ft tall so far and each have about 5 leaves with new ones every week or so. My concern is that the leaves also have developed yellow splotches on them. Are they O.K.? or is my husband watering (loving) them too much? Any info. would be great concerning care for them in the Northwest. Other than the yellowing they seem to be doing just fine. |
