Started to perk up and has finally put out a couple leaves. He was trying his best to take a swan dive on me for a while there. My other plants are almost indestructible compared to this little princeling. Glad to see yours doing well in the yard/field.
Thanks, Akula! I've been following your threads as well. Good stuff. Yes, the Patupi at first was a bit dramatic, but now it's growing quiet well. I do give all my trees a small bit of 10-10-10 fertilizer and it seemed to help the bananas take off better, but that's just me.
