Default Re: Some pictures I took this evening

Hey Frank, Of course I am growing a Biz! Only one of them though. I do not have much room left that gets full sun. I have a lot of live oaks growing in the rest of my yard that provide too much shade. That's why I am running out of room for bananas - I keep adding more palms to my collection that need full sun. Here's a picture from last weekend. I recently had to cut off a lot of the lower fronds so it doesn't look as good as it did. It is planted right next to the sidewalk and the fronds were jabbing people as they walked by. This was planted as a seedling in 2001 and is now almost 9 feet tall overall. You can also see my Saba bananas planted just to the left of the Biz. They are also right next to the sidewalk and people walking by always ask me "how come my banana trees don't get that big?"
