I bet out there in Arizona you can't get too much water on those bananas. It seems like they take a ton of water here in Indiana in the summer and we actually have humidity, very high humidity a lot of the summer. And not nearly as hot and strong sun as you get.

Island Cassie, I sure hope my ice cream banana isn't a clone from the same batch as yours! I don't think I have room for bananas that big in the winter. It's getting iffy now as big as it is, and its growing back quick in the greenhouse. I've been trying to control it by giving it less water, with limited success. Partly because that doesn't seem to work as well as I thought it would, and partly because I feel sorry for it every now and then and water it! I don't know if I'm ever going to get bananas on it, because I thought I'd already have them by now...
