Here are some of my bananas enjoying the hot and humid Massachusetts summer. This is the first time I put bananas in the ground. They seem to enjoy the unlimited growing space. I don't look forward to having to dig them up in the fall though. Here is Raja Puri on the left and Ice Cream on the right. They are from Willis Orchard so I'm taking their word on the varieties. They're just hanging out with the bee balm which is about 6 feet high.

I purchased this California Gold last summer on ebay.

The Raja Puri is on the left and I noticed today that it has a 3ft tall pup under it that seems to have appeared like magic so it must be happy. I did mix in some home depot manure in the soil before planting.
