[quote=PR-Giants;284357]Thanks and Good Luck on your PK.

I measured some of the fruit on that SL-3640, length 11.75".

I'm guessing this Veinte Cohol will be about 30 lb. & 220 to 240 fruit.

Growing Bananas In Sandy Sand.

A few decades ago I was curious if a banana plant would grow & fruit in a pot of bone-dry sand without ever adding water or fertilizer to it. The nice part about it was, if no water.... no leaking, so no drain holes were needed. What makes this possible is that banana plants have roots and surely many have seen them escaping out those drain holes.
