Photo Details
Poster: jewelbaby1224 (see this users gallery) Our weather is quite unpredictable right now. I lost 14 blossoms in the wind and hail. So I used thin packing foam sheets (hot glued) to form an open bottomed bag for protection.

You can protect the fruit...but you need the leaves to power them through maturity....good luck!!

Thank you! Please explain about the leaves? I want to learn all I can about growing fruit. I know these are quite early.

If the leaves get lost due to cold the plant will not take the fruit to maturity....so if you are prone to cold...plant you bananas under a canopy (plants or man made)....

OK I understand. I've learned how to cull out the mats, compost, water. I have 3 mats now. My goal is learning to grow the fruit, as many varieties as possible.

We're in zone 9, no frost after Easter. Right now we're windy. This mat is in the SE inside corner of the house (in fact the mat is 40+ yrs old). I composted them w/ Black Cow steer manure the first of the month, watering regularly.
