Hello all,
So here's the latest. Likely we'll be moving to a condo with a balcony. I so want to grow IN ground but that may have to wait a good while.
I know to use as big as pot as possible to encourage fruiting but I'm wondering what I can use to put under the HUGE pot to let water drain? I can't let it run down the side of the building as that could upset many neighbors (or maybe they won't notice? :) I would like to make sure I can water a good amount occasionally to let water drain out to help with the salt accumulation problem.
I'm looking for heavy wind resistant and salt air resistant varieties. I've heard Raja Puri and Namwah are resistant to wind?
This is going to be a challenge but hopefully I can make it work. The hard part will be getting bananas here. There aren't a lot of nurseries in Baja California that have bananas where they know the variety.
Anyone know of a nursery in the San Diego area that has a good variety of nanners that aren't too large? (small enough that I could bring them across the border on the floor of my jeep).
I'm worried about growing nanners on a balcony that faces the ocean because I imagine they're going to get sliced and diced.
Thank you for reading!
