So how much sun? I have some very tall trees on my property; grass grows very well beneath them--FL grass and weeds. Right now I have my bananas where they get full sun about 4 hours a day and only "brightness" otherwise; they're thriving. Can I not grow them under the canopy of 30' to 40' feet tall trees? If I planted them in my only truly full sun area they'd be toast I believe. Am I wrong?
