Terry,
where the banana trees get their water from ? I mean there is any irrigation system, or their roots getting the water from the salty sand?
I know that there must be too much rain there that may balances the salty enviroment..

Generally, I would like to know how often a banana must be watered during summer, in a mediterranean climate type.
