Hey Jim, I saw your pics in your gallery, VERY NICE! I'm new to this banana growing addiction too, started last season. I guess the REAL key to having them nice and large is to come out of their winter snooze with a good psuedo stem height. Although mine all faired the winter quite well, all lost some height. And last year they hadn't grown as much as I had hoped for either. Don't get me wrong I think my nanas are awesome and growing very nicely, they just don't have the impressive height your plants do. You did a great job protecting them.
