The Gros Michel, however, had other ideas and kept shooting out bananas which made it very hard to sacrifice the beast. Now I am down to only two plants and will probably remove one of those tomorrow (yes, the other one is pregnant) but though I am being pretty thorough about hacking out the stumps and roots, I know my GM (thank you sdarkman) is a very determined creature and I worry the DNM won't be able to compete. There is already a fairly new (6'tall Goldfinger) about 6'away from my chosen spot and then a mat of Becky's Mystery and another of Dwarf Brazilian (and yes, I know these are probably the same banana but they were both gifts) in the other direction with a lovely little coffee plant enjoying their shade and company. So I am sort of short on options. Am I just asking for trouble putting the Dwarf Nam Wah in my old Gros Michel mat? The only alternative is taking out my figs.
