I've noticed that some bananas seem to grow more easily for me than others. At first I wrote that off to location or microclimate. But I've noticed since then that the ones that did well for me at home (8B) also did well for me at our place on the coast (9B). One that hasn't done as well as I had hoped at either location is "Manzano". I read this morning in Kepler and Rust's book that "it does not fare well in Hawai'i's soils". So, my question for you is "Does Manzano do as well for you as the other banana plants you are growing?" Which brings to mind another question. Do you treat some banana varieties differently than others?
