Just posting to introduce myself.

My name is Ed. I am an accidental Banana farmer. I bought this house about 7 years ago and it had about 10-15 stalks. I did not even know they were bearing until the first flower dropped.

A few years ago we gutted the backyard and the only thing I saved were the lime tree and 4 stalks in a trash can full of dirt. 3 survived. They love the new location. They all fruited. Now I have about 20 stalks (way to close together) and I have 7 bunches in process.

Thank God, one is hanging over the fence. I already told the neighbor those are hers.

Welcome to the Jungle...:woohoonaner:

Have fun here.....


Your plants look healthy and robust...If you had a real bad problem the whole plant will generally reveal it.

Mr. Ed,

You and I are close in proximity and climates. Here's a blurb I wrote that might be of interest (or not :))
