Default Re: Help with wilting bannas (Red dwarf and dwarf brazilian)

The response you are seeing is not wilting, but just the leaves folding to attempt to reduce surface area exposed to the sun and cool them down, this is very normal in warm weather when very sunny, and especially with newly transplanted young plants.

On another note, what are your plans for 30 bananas planted 2ft apart in Michigan? Just a nice tropical summer bed filler?
