has anyone ever moved a banana plant and its suckers with a shovel and left the severed roots in the ground and found little banana plants growing in that spot?? when i moved my gran nain i found a few small plantlets. i didnt believe they were bananas at first i thought it may have been just some type of grass. by the time i identified the plants it was late in the fall and it was a week before first frost. i tried to lift the things and i killed a few,they had virtually no corms.they were connected to only a stringy root,i broke it and i put em in pots. the two that i save lived for a while in pots before they were decapitated by a falling accident..unfortunately they didnt regenerate after that with no corm.
those things were tiny they looked like tissue culture plants. has anyone ever had any experience like this?
before someone says im telling a tall tale look at this. i found it growing today. i removed my elephant ears from the ground in the fall. this thing survived 17 degree weather and snow and several frosts. i didnt have any hand in protecting it because i had no knowledge of it. i believe it was regenerated from a root piece the same as the banana.. this thing is no bigger than my thumb. there were two and i pulled one up and found no bulb in sight. if that happens again with the bananas i will get some pictures.. will see how big this gets by the end of the year..will definately propagate from this thing!!!
