I recently purchased a Musa basjoo at our local Menards store. I googled it and have read that with heavy winter mulch it can be left outside in the winter.
Anyone from out cold winter season ever tried this? Did it survive, and if so how did you mulch it?
From the articles I have read, after the first frost I cut it down to about 2 feet and mulch the dickens out of it and wrap it, mulch and all with a tarp. Then come early spring remove the tarp, the psuedostem will be soft and gelatinous but the plant will re-grow from its roots. Is that about right?
Any suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time for any info you can provide me with.
