If someone is able to put a banana plant in a pot they probably could find a spray bottle.

Anyone who has ever grown a tc plant knows that spray bottle is essential.

I didn't realize it takes 16 to 20 months for an Avocado to ripen in CA, here flower to harvest could be as short as 3 months.




When growing bananas rapidly amassing roots quickly is key.
I agree, I have noticed the same thing with banana plants that are growing in loose organic soil they grow faster than plants that are in hard compacted soil, growing plants in a small container and restricting the roots would only add to the amount of time it takes for the plant to fruit.

Thanks for sharing Keith.
