... "but it's a banana plant" my husband says calmly (since we couldn't even kill some Orinocos on our burn pile).
Do y'all concur?... that is, 'no worries'.
In stormy pic below, you might be able to just see the little pup ? 3' high to the back left of the tree that is front/center.
Pic taken during a frog-strangler that came the day after planting.
I did NOT water it after planting as the ground was semi-moist since it had rained a tad earlier that day (& I knew more rain was coming).
The ground where's it's planted gets a soaking with rain as it moves over that area w/ the lay of our land.
If the ground is saturated and we get super heavy rains, water will normally absorb into the surrounding ground within 24 hrs..
Soooo... can someone please tell me to stop being a worry wart? ...orrrr ? no such luck :rolleyes: hearing that?
