Default Re: There will be bananas in zone 7 again this year

Austin, glad you enjoyed it! I just wanted to pass along what I have learned from others. Everyone seems to do it just a bit differently, so adapt it to your own needs.

Don't tell Joe Real that musella lasiocarpa is a great banana, LOL ! He doesn't appreciate them as much as we do. I'm still hoping for a couple of blooms this year. I planted them a bit later than I should have, but better late than never. Here's one of them:



My Ice Cream took a while to recover from being under the house. It didn't store that well. It's growing really well right now, and has at least 3 pups. I'm still not sure why I'm growing it. I need to switch to growing dwarf varieties only. Easier on the back!
