Default Re: Largest banana grown in NC?

Hey whats up, plants are just starting to grow here on the ocean,Ice cream was first, orinocos are sending up pups now,all of my stuff I dug up is still the same with no growth yet except for the ensete it has grown three leaves this month.
There is a local Greenhouse here that had some plants that would grow about 15 foot of stem every year, with no protection and they would fruit every two years,unfortunately they dug up the huge corm and split it off and sold the plants and they had a mix up and did not save any, I did get one pup last year and it is currently about 6 foot and green and so far it has three or four pups but nothing yet from the main stem should be any day now.
