Hi
I have planted my bananas in my backyard, I am in Atlanta-GA-, USA zone 7.
Some were stored in my basement, others I just bought.This is my 3rd banana year.
Some are alive and going already:
-Musa Basjoo
-Ensete
-Chinese yellow (4)
-Tall Orinoco (2) (1 alive, 1 rhizome still dormant inground)
-Musa velutina (Several very small)
Some Ijust planted the rhizome and no green in sight yet:
-Zebrinas (3)
-Dwarf cavendish
-Tall Orinoco (2) (1 alive, 1 dormant)
All the bananas are very close together, I like the jungle look.Can I start fertilizing the bananas that are awake, will that bother the rhizomes I just planted in ground?
I almost killed a tall Orinoco rhizome last year like that, I watered it like an animal while dormant and got no results so I dug it up in June and it was muchy and rotted, I left it there thinking it was dead but came back and gave me a nice plant.
So I am still carefull watering my freshly planted rhizomes.
Thanks a lot
Patrick
