went to the gulf coast for 2 weeks to clean up a cabin that got 7 inches of water in it. friend of mine for 20 years. a couple of years ago he brought down some dwarf bananas and planted 3 at the first cabin, the one we cleaned you can only reach by water. he lives out of state so his bananas never was able to get good care. one died completely. another died but left some pups. the third was gone but had a little left in her. but left daughter and grand daughter. I dug up the pups and grand daughter put them in pots. I also found grandmother below the surface, she was still attached to mother slightly, still had some white rhizome showing, so I potted her. had given 2 plants to the next door neighbor, he knew nothing about growing bananas either, the first year he said he had really good tasting bananas but after that got very poor bunches. well he had 5 plants growing on 1 rhizome, I took a sharp shovel and separated that plant and was able to get 3 pups. the second one had 2 plants growing on one rhizome and 2 pups. one plant had rotted at the top and one leaf, I took that plant and one pup. I cut the rotten part of the top off and planted them in pots. that was about 9 days ago. I came home yesterday and repotted the 4 pups from the neighbor into bigger pots and planted the stump. every body are doing fine with new roots coming out and the stump has a shoot coming out of it big as my thumb and new roots. grandma I have left in the pot, we will see if she makes it. I brought 8 plants home.
