Default Re: Growing bananas in the Shade

Long overdue update!

The bananas did not ripen before a storm blew them over and the Winters of 13/14 and 14/15 were brutal

BUT

the mat survived and is growing. I'll report if I get a bloom this season. Good possibility since we had a mild Winter.

I have a Saba in light shade that has produced a bloom with one hand so far. Many large p-stems that should bloom this year by end of June. Could be a great year!

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
