Default Re: Fruiting in container

I totally agree. I have been using all fabric pots for awhile now! I have run tests and banana pups do root faster and create better root-balls. Which is very very important. When transplanting a banana from pot->larger pot or pot->ground if you keep the root-ball together and there is no damage to it you will see 0 transplant shock!

I do not grow in pots long term , but I'm sure you would notice good effects long term! Banana roots can grow over 30 foot long! So would you rather one huge 30' circling root or 100 smaller more efficient roots!

Root pouch is an awesome one I use. Also I (my wife) make my own with high quality landscape fabric. I try to find the thick black one made of recycled water bottles! It's the best. Check out YouTube for (how to make fabric pots). Lots of videos.
