Default Re: Minimum planter width for growing Tall banana cultivars?

Thank you very much all of you for your replies!!!

Ante,
I have the same problem with keeping my bananas potted,they need lots of watering and dont put much vertical growth despite many growing 4 leafs a month...My Kandrian in the ground doubled in size while my Namwah Tall which i kept potted,just reached the size it had before having rot issues early in the spring.......Thats why i am desperate to ground plant them,even if it has to be in a tight place!


I would like to thank everyone for the info and help you gave me! I will consider all and do the best i can to fulfill my banana's space needs. We plan to start looking for a new property this Fall/Winter and if all goes well,my bananas will get to grow on a 10-20acre property soon. I really hope the planter i will make will suffice to get them big,happy and fruiting till a new space is prepared for them....

Could you maybe all mention the max pseudostem width of the Tall varieties you are growing? Just to get an idea of what to expect depending on the width i make it...

Thank you very much in advance!
