Thanks, Scot. I've received corms that were trimmed but just barely to the the surface or slightly below. I didn't know that this much of the corm could be trimmed off but it's obvious now that the roots originate from deep within the corm. I also hadn't thought of treating with hot water although something similar is done by some chestnut growers (a crop I grow) in areas where weevils infest the nuts.

Once a banana plot is fallowed, how many years might it be before it's planted to bananas again? Are other crops grown on the land in the meantime?

Thanks,

Harvey
