Yes, Calderdale really is about to go bananas
Yes, Calderdale really is about to go bananas
Yes, Calderdale really is about to go bananas - Halifax Today CALDERDALE will be going bananas this summer. More than 200 exotic banana plants are set to bring a touch of the tropics to the district's green spaces. But the plants, which will make their first appearance in June, will not grow any fruit. Paul Marshall, Calder-dale Council estates manager at Manor Heath, Halifax, said: "We are always looking for plants that are a bit different." He said the dwarf banana plants will grow to around 4ft tall – too small to bear the yellow fruit. They will appear in roundabouts, parks and other open spaces ac-ross Calderdale alongside other exotic plants. Mr Marshall said: "I bought some banana plants last year and tried them in my garden at home. "The problem with a lot of plants is that the frost kills them off but these did well." They will be planted in June and brought in for the winter months, when cuttings will be taken so council staff can continue to grow the plants the following year. Courier Comment The full article contains 178 words and appears in Evening Courier newspaper. Last Updated: 15 February 2008 9:44 AM |

Re: Yes, Calderdale really is about to go bananas
I wonder if it's basjoo. That's pretty cool, I wonder if the public will get upset in the winter when they look like crap.
