Excellent videos on the Musa Bajoos. What was the difference between the ones wrapped vs. the ones you left unwrapped? Did you do a video noting any differences? Looks to me they are all growing. :-)
I did a comparison just before this video. The ones that got wrapped were and still are about two feet (60cm) taller than the ones that were unwrapped. They are all growing and looking good. This coming winter I will probably wrap a few, but not as many as I did last year more because it's quite a bit of plastic to do it. I do have two that have just started to flower and both of those were wrapped. Not saying unwrapped can't flower, but two data points for future analysis. th-cam.com/video/YjSQ8_oO2is/w-d-xo.html
That’s fantastic! Looking forward to uncovering mine. Here on Long Island that day doesn’t come until the middle of April, so a few more weeks. Experiencing a polar vortex right now, so who knows. Brian when you can, if possible, do a video of taking one of the “pups” and transplanting. Always honing my gardening skills. Again they look fantastic! Thanks for the view

I'm afraid unwrapping them and it turn out to be fool's spring like last year. I'm also trying to grow dwarf papaya this year in zone 7 New Jersey. Hope to get some fruits before winter.
We grow two types - Koi and Scabrida. The Koi bamboo has a combo of green and yellow/gold colors and gets about 15 feet tall in boxes. The scabrida is shorter - about 8-9 feet tall in boxes. New shoots are tan/orange/red and eventually change to green after they mature. Both are clumping and require a few hours of yearly maintenance.
Love these cold Hardy Tropicals. Great stuff 👍🏼
They are the best for making your backyard feel like a tropical paradise!
They are looking really great 👌😁 can't wait to see them when they get completely wild with this size☀️
Thanks! Last year they started in April at about 6 feet (2 meters) tall and they topped out at about 16 feet (5 meters).
Yes, they're growing pretty fast and crazy as long as soil is very "rich". Usually when I put them in horse kaka they're going wild😁👌🌴👍☀️
Looks good! Exciting day!
Thanks! Best day of the year :)
@@vibonitatropics Yes!!!
It's good one
Thanks!

@@vibonitatropics Very interesting. I think I will wrap a few this winter and let the others weather the winter here in 7b.

I put the wrapping in the garage for now so I can tape it back on if need be :D
Can you make a video on how to wrap your banana plant?
Here's a video of how I wrap them. th-cam.com/video/5S9C0XMpaZQ/w-d-xo.html
What type of bamboo are you growing? Thanks for the great videos!

@@vibonitatropics Thanks! I am going to start some this spring, I have seen several people growing bamboo in our city👍
What zone are u in? Sorry if I missed it?
I'm in zone 8 near Seattle in the US.
