Default Re: Minimum planter width for growing Tall banana cultivars?

Thank you very much for your reply Jon and Tony!

Jon,
I do understand that to keep a nice big mat you do need at least 5ft but couldnt they be planted in much less space if well managed and only 2-3pseudostems are left to grow? Length isnt a problem,they will have plenty of room to spread lengthwise but 5ft of width is not an option in this tight spot unfortunately.

Tony,
Hmm,i see 3ft which sound somewhat more promising but its still too much for my place.


Wouldnt 70cm width be plenty for a nice big mat(at areas that space allows me to make it that wide) and cant they be grown in even less say 50cm? Unfortunately i am tight on patio width as they are along walkways,parkings,etc...

Thank you very much in advance!
