Replies: 12 Chronic problems with Sunburn and Rot Views: 2,491 Posted By figsofcourse Re: Chronic problems with Sunburn and Rot That's a good point George, because mine don't go from wilted to brown.

Replies: 2 CNBC Banana history... Views: 772 Posted By figsofcourse Re: CNBC Banana history... I saw this and was immediately reminded of the old UFC footage (linked on this forum) from the 40s. On that video I thought "Huh, they had airplanes in the 1940s?" and on this special I really...

Replies: 12 Best Bananas to plant? Views: 2,036 Posted By figsofcourse Re: Best Bananas to plant? Here in Phoenix we have a lot of clay soil, and I have been so surprised that the bananas don't seem to mind it. We have to water a lot of course (and mulch to keep it from evaporating away) but darn...
