Had no idea how warm you guys stayed over the winter, do the bananas die back? I'm in Minnesota and here they die back to the ground and mostly reawaken early June & rarely if ever seen
I remember around 2007 or so when the hardy bananas were beginning to catch on. Today, they're in every neighborhood. To me, they've been overdone. Palms? They never get old. Yuccas? They're awesome too. But the bananas do nothing for me these days because they're everywhere.
Yes if planted in the right area. They had nice ones in Palmyra NJ and the OG Palm Legend Steve, has a few doing well. Of course it would require protection at some points and could ☠️ in a polar vortex.
There are needles and minors at Longwood Gardens, which is W-SW and farther from the water than Philly. As for the yucca (rostrata), I have seen that growing at the entrance to the Denver Botanical Garden, at least a zone 6
Nice the needles look great
Wow those musa basjoos look good hopefully mine grows like that
Nice! Those yucca rostratas are incredible man.
Did you go to Savannah Bananas?
i was literally just there on that exact street! how did i not see these? 😭 maybe bc i was focusing on driving i guess

They die back every season.

Can windmills grow in Philly? Their climate is similar to NYC, no?

Yeah, I was just wondering cause I've only seen minors and needles being grown in Philly
Sheltered micro climate only way those yucca and palms can survive in philly
Philly is a 7b/8a yucca, minors and needles should be failproof there
Wrong!
