Default Re: Red Bananas - What Plant?

Tommy,

I bought a tall red at Home Depot, spring 2009. It was the biggest and most beautiful plant in my garden last summer, then last winter almost killed it. It came back this spring, but just barely. By this time last year it was HUGE (pics are in my gallery), but hasn't even hit 8 ft this year, and no pups like last year either. I was told that they are sensitive to cold, and now I have a better understanding of what that means! Tall Red has really disappointed me. It will be interesting to see what kind od winter we have - and what comes back next year.

Russell
