Finally got the pics. The first one is a close up of the pup growing next to the mother plant. Some of the pup's leaves look a little gnarly and you can see how the latest leaf appears "burnt" in the middle. The stems at the bottom of the pic we're from two leafs off the mother that I cut back.
Ok this one show my current setup. What I'm tryin to do here is let the plant get morning sun from 6-11 and at the same time it's protected from the midday and afternoon sun before it sets. At first, it seemed like it was working pretty well until the beginning of this month.
Next up is a picture of the dirt mound I have around the banana. Not sure if it's too big, if it should be mulched more. What I have around it is primarily topsoil mixed in with steer compost and mulch. The drip emitter allows for 2 gal/hr.
Lastly, this is a close up of one of the mother's leaves. I think it looks decent for the most part but you can see it looks krusty on the fringes. Not sure if this has to do primarily w/the heat. Let me know what you guys think and thanks again.
