I've found hauling nanners long distance it's better to lay them down on your trailer and gently cover with a tarp. You might have to re pot, but cuts WAY down on the shred factor.

That link is a helpful thread; thanks! What sort of soil mix do you grow them in when you use containers, and maybe your feeding regimen?
