Default Help me to kill that nana !

Hi everybody,

Let's speak about a member of the musaceas family.
The guy is a huge Strelizia augusta (I will post pictures of it very soon).
It is a cold hardy and somewhat wind hardy ornemental very interesting to create a fast tropical look in the southern gardens.

But.......I made a mistake.
I planted it just near my house at 30 cm (sorry ! one foot) of the wall.

Now it is six meters (sorry ! twenty feet) high and the roots are exploding the pavement around it.

It is sad but I am thinking about killing it because it is very difficult extract its suckers and to make them root. They bleed water to death.

I would like to plant a less greedy nana at its place.

I am waiting for your suggestions to extract the thing.

Phil

PS : if anybody interested in it, please come to undig it and I will ship it to your home in an twenty feet UPS box.

Hi,

Yes, you are right. That is my mistake.
Link toward strelizia
Not a musacea but a zingiberacea.
But my question is still valid.

Any idea ?

Phil

I don't think he's looking for an ID (especially since the OP says the plant name)....he is asking for ways to kill it.

It is not in Musaceae, it is in Strelitziaceae.

Heavy machinery if you want to extract it without killing it.

One copper nail hammered in the p- stem will kill any plant or tree.

The best way;

Pour some gasolline into Pseudostem, around it and put some rocks around so that you won't make a fire. Throw a match and let it burn.

When it becomes a 'porridge', take a showell and dig out the remains.

Good luck!
