Plant Orinoco's Deep?
I've been reading an old book about fruit in Florida and it suggested that Orinoco bananas should be planted very deep, like the corm should be at the bottom of a two foot hole. That seems pretty radical to me but the book suggested that this helps them stay upright in heavy wind and I imagine it would help protect the corm from cold.
Has anybody tried planting that deep before? I usually plant to the same depth the pup was originally growing at which seems to mean 6 inches or so.
