How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
Can two plants make up a banana grove. Maybe three? I am looking for bragging rights here so I can tell my friends I have a banana grove.

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
I would say once you hit 30 mats you are beyond a garden. I guess the technical term for a banana field is plantation.

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
If acres of bananas is a plantation, then I would say 3 would only qualify as a "planting" of bananas. Even with a little artistic license, a grove, although having no exact defining number, would seem to be a large group of bananas, the exact number of which is not immediately determinable. To echo Richard.....three is a good start! As long as you can keep one banana ahead of your friends, I think you have some limited bragging rights just the same. Best regards!

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
Sunfish's link suggested you need enough to kill the grass due to the shade. I think four would do that if they are spaced properly.
 So let's say four is a grove. Two groves makes a plantation. Sounds good to me anyway. Thanks for the replies. Randy

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
A group of banana trees is called a grove or copse.

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
I could spare about 20 plants to sell you so I would say that's enough to get you to grove status! :P

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
I will just keep calling mine either "the yard" or "the garden". Knowing my city, as soon as I start throwing around "plantation" or "grove", it will be taken the wrong way and city code enforcement will be paying me a visit to remind me that I am zoned "residential" and not "agricultural" and there is no way one person could eat all the bananas, tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, mangos, limes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers...........

Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove
When the emergency crews have to cut you out of your house with a chainsaw, it would be a good start.
