I received a large sucker from one of our fellow posters two falls back. I put heat lamps on the pseudostems this past winter to help on the coldest nights. Lost all the leaves, but the pseudostems did fine. These are really right sized for protection and fruit production. The first plant bloomed immediately after breaking dormancy. This flag leaf pseudostem is probably 13 or 14 months old w/ 5 months of that dormant. Pretty fast.

Also, I feed compost and water. Probably 6" deep compost.
