Thank you. I didn't know it was that easy and that roots were involved. Cloning tomato plants doesn't involve roots, and rooting hormones are used to encourage rapid new root development, even though it can be done without hormones for the organic growers. On average, how old does a plant need to be before it would produce fruit/herb? Do they all self pollinate, or is a second plant required? I think it would be interesting to grow a banana plant that gives edible fruit/herb. But in Iowa, that will be a lot of indoor out door moving for the seasons.
