Figaro,

I appreciate the link. I missed your last thread. All my bananas are planted in the ground outdoors, so I haven't had to deal with a similar situation.

I'd considered the dangers of rot from a deeper planting, but at least in my neck of the woods, flooding and pooling water just isn't an issue. From everything I've read here, deeper planting is generally beneficial; if a corm/stem is going to rot, soil level won't be the issue, oversaturation will. That'll hurt the plant whether it's sitting plumb with the soil line or buried 2 feet below it.

Anyway, absolute best of luck with your DC. Interested in seeing how things work out.
