Jeff, that's what I was thinking. Right now it's fine cause we haven't gotten any rain, but when we get a good down poor it will pond up. I may just amend the soil a little I dug out and put back in. Thanks for all the advice.

Here's the Ice Cream today.

I finally got it planted in the ground. I found a place I feel comfortable with.

I had an FHIA 17 that did the same thing. I cut it down to about 2-3" from the soil line and within 4 days it put up new growth. At six days it had about 4 1/2" of new stem coming up. Like Jon said, never give up until it is an empty hole in the ground. Actually, I got a bucket with a rotted corm of FHIA 23 in it, too. Now there are 2 new bananas growing out of the hole in the ground! Go figure, right?

I have found with mine, when I take the overwintering medium off the plants, I end up doing more harm than good when I cut away what I think is rotted. From now on, I plan on cutting nothing from a plant that looks like it has rot on it.

It looks great Dean! I know that I have learned my lesson. So far I have only lost 6 plants, but they were doomed from the start due to heat in transit. 1 Williams, 2 Dwarf Nam Wa Pearls (being replaced free), 2 Balbisianas that were just too small to survive the trip and a Grand Nain that I am trying to get to put out a leaf - if it does, then I will consider myself lucky. I have an African Red that is trying to make a comeback as well as a Gros Michel doing the same.

Hey Scot, ya I have a few too, that I'm worried about. It was cool today. Hopefully, they have enough time to grow some before the weather changes.
