Hi friends,
I have a headache with several 60L potted banana trees with oblique pseudostem.
The all are 2 years old and supposed to be candidates of next year flowring.
Considering from the fact that the center of gravity should move to the top
of the pseudostem when they bear fruits, I am wondering what to do with them.
Idea 1.
To dig them up from the pot and after storing in a cool place with the temp.
not less than 5C/41F and repot them streight vertically when spring comes.
I wonder in this case if newly developed roots are strong enough to support
the tree.
Idea 2.
To use "Y shaped supporter" to support and sustain the oblique pseudostem.
However the trouble is that it is not easy to find such material here in Japan.
Idea 3.
Nothing to do with the banana trees, but only to adjust the pot position using
stones or something under the pot so that the tree can stand streight upward.
Do you have any other better and effective ideas?
