Default Re: Building a raised box for a banana plant...

I would have suggested a minimum of 6 feet square. They will probably not have roots deeper that 18-24" so will not likely have much, if any, roots in the surrounding soil outside the raised bed. Bananas should not be completely dry in the winter: moist, but not soggy, and not dry.
