It's just edging to make it look nice and keep the grass from trying to grow over it.

Re: Valor_X & Backyard Banana Joe - Who can fruit a Praying Hands pup first?
Not bad!!
I wonder if yours having shade from another banana will give it an advantage.. or detriment! Mine is in full sun all day... hmmmm... wonder how that would work

Re: Valor_X & Backyard Banana Joe - Who can fruit a Praying Hands pup first?
An update! I have been too lazy to upload pictures, because instead of uploading pictures I prefer to go outside and care for the fruit trees and look at their growth.
It has been growing slowly, but it is growing, and it even made a pup. But here the update is: |

Re: Valor_X & Backyard Banana Joe - Who can fruit a Praying Hands pup first?
Very Nice BBJ!! Yours is looking great!!
As you saw from my other post & for those that don't know, I was hit by the Texas Winter storm. I covered all my bananas the best I could. My Praying Hands was one of the ones I took EXTRA precaution with and covered it with several bags, a blanket, and topped it off with a huge plastic pot. Weather has warmed up and it looks like it will be just fine! I had left the dead material on to help insulate it further in case of any other freak cold fronts. Now that it has warmed up and it's growing I'm going to trim it so excuse the mess for now lol

Here is an update
My Praying Hands has recovered very nicely and it's starting to pick up speed! Even my Orinocos in the back need to catch up!
