Default Re: Pull em ?

I have had a cavendish I was given locally. The owner said it never got over 3' in its life. It was planted in ground. It's been there for 10+ years. It was planted in decent soil. I planted it here and it did horriable all year. Got maybe 3'. It died from freeze that year and the new pup popped up next year and took off. It grew totally normal. I still am not sure what caused it but thought I would share my experience.

If you really feel it will not grow I would kill the growth point and let it shoot a new pup.

Also what was your source? TC or corm. If corm you may be dealing with the same growth point like my cavendish was. Bananas can do strange things sometimes I have found.

Good luck. Goldfinger is deffently worth having.
