So this hasn't been an ideal year for this lovely lady, as she had a bit of a rocky start. This is the plant I dry stored over winter and in all likelihood put her in the ground a little early while it was still too wet for her as indicated in this thread:
Uncovering winterized bananas
see the last post in the above thread.
I decided I'd post an update, even though she doesn't look her best, because I thought it was interesting to see the stem on the left straightening up. Its kind of a weird pic, the angles look a little funky (the stems on the right aren't really leaning to the right as they appear), but if you compare the left p-stem with the bamboo stake to its left, which it was being help up by, you can see how much it has straightened. I actually had to untie it because it looked like it might be starting to choke the poor lady.
Today:
As compared to June 30:
Water has been a bit of a struggle this year, we are in a stage 5 (worst) drought and being on a well makes it a little more challenging to give my plants the water they really need to grow well.
But, we're getting along and she is definitely going in the right direction.
She looks a little better from this side
