Help! We have moved and I want to replant these in the "right" place!
My wife started with a single, small plant gifted to her by her mother, and she grew that into several thriving colonies all throughout our old yard. Here was the biggest:
I THINK these are musa tall orinoco plants, but I'd like to confirm that if I can. We have never dug them up before winter, but we do hack them down to about a foot above ground and bury them with dead leaves and bio matter. On to my question. We have moved to a community where my wife would like to plant some along (or near) the fence line, but I fear that doing so too closely will damage the fence (or encroach on my neighbor's property). Should I put some kind of root barrier down? If so, how far? Am I safe to plant them without that if I simply back off the fence by several feet? Any help you experts could offer would be greatly appreciated! |

I got the right place. ... Oh well, just plant 'em about 3 ft off the fence.

Your photo was not showing, but it should be showing below here.
It is not 'Orinoco', but rather looks to be Musa basjoo, which is a wild species that does not produce edible fruit. I would suggest to plant it more like 5ft from a fence to leave some buffer and room for maintenance. Main Colony
