PalmatierMeg Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I think you are a dedicated palm lover. Kudos to you. Update us with photos when you release your Washy. What temps are you looking for? It should be fine once lows exceed low 20sF/-10C. Then it will be a happy palm for 6-8 months. Hold off on the potted palms until the danger of hard freezes is over 2 Meg Palms of Victory I shall wear Cape Coral (It's Just Paradise) Florida Zone 10A on the Isabelle Canal Elevation: 15 feetI'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Dwarf Fan Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Much respect from South Texas I like your “where there is a will there is a way” attitude. Don’t be discouraged by the Washy that didn’t make it, look for Washy seeds that come from a tree that survived a super cold event that is growing in a more northern zone it should have some more cold hardy genetics. Dallas Washy seeds that survived Palmageddon ‘21 might be a good seed stock to try out next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Zone 5 Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 The bananas are wicked. I've never tried winterizing banana outside. I usually dig them up and keep them in the garage. How tall are they? Kudos to you👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've planted it in May and grew about 3 feet tall then suddenly they declined we were in the driple digits for almost 3 months and still are. I watered them every day . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinmtl67 Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 @MarcusH ohhh that's sad it's normally a very easy plant to grow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusH Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Once planted they took of quite fast , had healthty green fronds then once summer came things changed fast . I planted my musa basjoo on the most sunny side of the house but my assumption is that since it was a young tree it couldn't handle the upper 90s and long period of 100 degree weather. I watered every day for a few minutes. We almost had no clouds throughout the day. I guess it was too much heat and sun but I could be wrong.
