Re: Tampa Freeze
Thanks Mitchel. Looks like I'll have a bunch of poles out there as about every leaf got zapped.

Re: Tampa Freeze
You may not be able to do this, but one easy way to get rid of leaf trash after a freeze is to set it on fire. The pseudostem is full of water and won't burn, but all the dead leaves will burn right off. Several years ago I had a round banana patch with about 10 mats in my yard and it had black sigatoka and there were lots of dead leaves. I lit it on fire and it cleared out all the leaf trash and the only healthy leaves I lost were the lowest ones. Of course, you need to live in the country to do that.

Re: Tampa Freeze
Have to admit that sounds like a lot more fun than cutting them off!

Re: Tampa Freeze
OMG, it hasn't been into the 20s (Fahrenheit) here since the "winter" began. It hasn't been freezing at all for that matter, some 28 maybe, but I'm a zone 7b/8a, not a Sunshine State city. Best of luck to u! may your naners recover nicely.

Re: Tampa Freeze
I bought them at Going Bananas in Homestead as Numwahs. I'll sure take your word as I am an amateur. Big difference?
