Excellent work bigdog. Was just wondering what zone do you live in? Is it necessary to actually take them out of the ground each year if you live in an area where you won't get a frost? The pics are worth a 1000 words. How does one know when the banana is going to fruit? I have one goldfinger that is about 4 feet tall and I have it inside for the winter and it is still growing like a weed. Any advice on this? It has just sprung up a 2nd pup. When do I remove the pups and let them grow on their own? Thanks again.
