Your palm tree is outstanding too! I planted one next to the velutina at the same time, but it's only about 4' tall now. I also put a eucalyptus in that area too, and it has spread out all over.

Hi, Kaye. I'm glad you enjoyed my photos. I leave my hardy bananas in the ground--basjoo, musella, velutina--but dig up the nonhardy edible ones--orinoco, raja puri, etc to save the trunks and try to get them to produce bananas for me.
