Re: Al.com: Guide to growing bananas on the Gulf Coast (Finch)
Thanks for posting that. Do you adhere to his advice of removing the suckers and all the trunks save 1 or 2? I never thought about saving the six footers as opposed to the tallest.
I learned something here and appreciate your posting the article because I had missed it. Terry |

I think in the future (when I have my own place) I will remove most of the suckers and pot them over winter (so no need to worry about them dying). I think the advice about saving the 6 footers (as opposed to the tallest) is good advice if you didn't want to spend the time to protect all of the plants. |

Chance, how has your gros michel been doing this winter? Just wondering since I think you said you had it planted outside and we have pretty similar weather (I have mine potted inside).
