I had to wrap that big one up a lot - man I just hope it doesn't loose much off the top. This cold (for this long) is just unusual for us. Thankfully it's getting a little warmer again - back to near normal.
I envy you guys in the warmer spots with the huge bananas. I doubt I'll ever get one over 12' here without hibernation. I've got A LOT of reading to do here about the various species and how they hibernate (I wish that was included in the Wiki for each banana).
Reading the above, can you even possibly over water a banana in the ground (so long as it's not sitting in a bog like setting)? I often think I'm not giving mine enough, but don't want to over do it in the summer. We have NO clay here in Lexington, SC - turns to sand mostly if you dig down enough, luckily this area was very forested before the neighborhood was built - good top soil mix overall. So weird too, less than 25 miles away where I grew up they have more clay than you know what to do with. I've never seen types of soil change so fast in such a small area.
