Welcome to the org! :D You'll learn a lot here kwik! One thing, when it's cold [like 50's] outside, don't give them very much water or food. The water can cause corm-rot and since they grow very slow when it's cold, the fertilizer can burn the roots. If you need any info, just ask. :)

Hi Tony, welcome to the org from another foreign place. Sounds like you like challenges, growing some bananas there in Wichita! But, where there's a will, there's a way!

Welcome from Milwaukee Oldkong! There is a lot you can learn here. And really, alot of it is trial and error. Don't worry about it too much. I have killed as many plants as I have successfully grown. :08:

Sorry to interrupt, Tony.
Howard,
I don't have any sunny locations to plant them and Georgia has hardly any rain in the summer, not good for bananas.
