Hello folks,
I'm sorry if a question like this has been posted a thousand times before (is there a search function?)
I currently work in Iraq where the temperatures throughout the year are quite extreme. It was just below zero this winter and temps can hit 50C during the summer months.
Our new office has three banana trees growing in the garden and while they flourished last year (definitely the feature of the garden) sprouting lots of saplings(?) they have now got to a stage where they are brown, limp and lifeless, and quite frankly - look messy to visitors.
We would like to see them flourish again this year so what should we do? Is it best to cut the old ones down or should they remain as they are? Its the rainy season here for the next month with temps between 10c and 20c, and after that I reckon it'll get stinking hot again.
Many thanks for any help or advice.
Tommy
