Paulo, I think you just provided me with a clue, even for here in colder weather! I've used mycorrhizal fungai for other plants that suffer from transplant shock with great success including everything from evergreens to wild orchids(sorry to admit being a bit relentless in collecting plants back in the day). Currently I've been thinking how much transplant shock might affect bananas grown in northern climates where if they're not grown in a pot are transplanted a couple of times per year. Mycorrhizal fungai attaches itself to the roots and through a sybiotic relation allows them to feed more efficiently. I will definitely be looking in to how I might use this on my plants here in Jersey. ............Thanks.
