I stored my nanners dry in my storage closet,and when I removed them they were all pretty dried out. Now the p-stem has area's that are shrunken and dry and other area's that are yellowish green. Even if they are growing once it gets bigger the plant won't be able to sustain itself weight wise. So I should cut them back right? Also how long does everyone wait to fed them after bringing out of storage? I figure what till I see new growth? The soil I planted them in has fertilizer in it already. Its used for veggies and flower gardens nothing special from Lowes.
