Kitchen jungle

It was cut down to the ground by last years winter. It now has about 30 stems.:yess:

 

In the summer that we've just had!!!

 

That's a beauty Dai :thumb:, I had one like that once, three main stems and I lost count of the amount of suckers in was throwing up at its peak, I know several friends and family had babies that I took off the main plant. I managed to protect most of it over the winters and its main stems reached about 10ft and the suckers were 3-6ft tall; covering an area of about 6ft square.

Unfortunately when I moved, my mum couldn't cope with it in the winter so it wasn't protected and the last two winters finished it off sadly.....

 

If it survives this winter I shall split it in the spring.

 

Don`t see the point John. It wasn`t protected last year.

 

I think the root ball,here, was protected because the tops were knocked down by the frosts and snow.

 

Eddy, it either will or it wont, no point worrying about it.:D

 

I remember when I lived near Wisley and popped in there all the time (sigh!), they used to wrap their banana plants up so they resembled hay stacks.

 

The common or garden Basjoo.

 

Its a damn good job Melinda isn't on line, she would just explode with the inuendo.
