Default Re: Bananas in South Louisiana

I grew up in the real lower Alabama--(we actually call this part of FL LA as well) and most of the soil there is just plain sand--you have to dig down a ways to get to some red clay/sand--it is nowhere near as rich as tha black delta mud around New Orleans. I have some Orinocos that I have had for years and I last yr I finally found out how to get them to make it trhu the winter so they would bloom and I now have 2 that bloomed.
