Tropical Gardens with Hardy Plants - General Tiki

Early, but not unheard of. I pulled the potted bananas in the garage... have to see if the Taro and other tropicals in the yard get nipped or not. Nights are just about too cold anyhow for most of them at 40 degrees on average. The bananas are showing brown spots on the leaves. Nearly time to pull them into the basement for wintering. But we still have some days forecast in the 60's and 70's next week. The rest of the tropicals will be harvested after the first hard freeze and the bulbs and tubers wintered until next Spring.
