Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
Hello All,
Has anyone else had issues where the leaves of their banana plant come out like they already went through a wind storm? They are split and thin.. I wonder if they are growing too fast or if the fact that I have 3 Pstems on the same corm? I saved my Pstems this year overwintering and my plants went from a 3' stem to a 12-14' plant already. I have leaves that are about 4' long also.. Anyone? Adam |

Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
The nights are still around 65 degrees so its nice to sleep with the windows open at least. I really haven't had the air conditioners running yet. I did notice that the outer layer on some of my larger bananas are splitting a little near the base. Maybe because they are getting fatter and growing? I think I'm going to apply some water soluable banana fertilizer tomorrow. I put some cow manure (Home Depot brand) around them and some neighbors cat decided to make it a litter box too. I need to get a dog again.

Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
My "nanners" are exploding with these 90's, very welcomed after the very slow start. I haven't chanced inground overwintering yet, I only have last years' plants and want to wait 'til I have pups, so I'll prolly wait 'til next year.

Re: Massachusetts Banana progress 2011
Welcome everyone!
I'm also living in MA. I'm in Worcester and am just starting to grow a SDC and getting a banjoo probably saturday. I've been truly inspired by all the success stories of other people growing banana plants/trees in new england. I'll be looking at some of you for advice as my banana plants start to grow more. Please post pictures if you have any.
