I hooked up with Ruplmnz in Tampa when he was thinning out his bananas awhile ago. Great guy gave me some bananas. I did get a corm from him that was destined for the compost pile. The Brazilian is starting to pup. My ? is do I start to fertilize now or does it get most of it's nutrients from the corm and wait till it gets bigger.

Hey,
I would try to cover that corm to help the pup...it will probably send out roots from that part that is not buried. But do not re-cover up the pup. Looks good, I don't know much about fertilizer though.
