Fold I guess is a more correct term. They do not die and remain green. The shade varies but they are mostly full sun with some afternoon and early morning shade. Fertilized with 10-10-10. Watered almost every day. Leaf color is deep green and they are full size leaves. There is a very heavy mulch of oak tree leaves and pine straw that is 8" - 10" thick. The original pups were planted in pine bark mulc compost. Each plant was planted in a hole full of the compost. The holes were about four foot wide and 18" deep. The whole area is pesticide free and highly organic (full of earthworms). It is regularly weeded and the bananas are abour 8' apart. Should be banana heaven.
