Hi everyone,
Years ago, our neighbors brought back some banana plants from Mexico and gave us one. Since my mom loves banana plants, we planted it and never did anything with it. In our zone 9, every year it would pretty much die all the way down, and then grow a few feet back each year before winter again. Last winter we decided to actually protect it, so this summer it's just been growing like crazy about 4.5 feet tall, and already has 4 pups. Our neighbors had them planted along our fence, and they never really got too much taller than the fence. I'm really hoping that it'll flower before winter so we can actually see what it is!

So here's what I know:
- All green
- From Mexico
-about fence height
-Dies back in a zone 9 winter
