Default Re: My bananas over a 3 year span

Get yerself a xanthosoma sagittifolium - gets 9' tall with 5' long leaves. Gorgeous plant! I have one in a container that's already pushing up a small pup and about to explode out of its container - gonna have to pot up pronto!

Be well,
Mike

I would be a little afraid to try to take a pup off of it, it hasn't put one out for almost a year though. However there isn't much room for any more so will figure that out when it finally does pup again.
