Default Re: is watering banana plants mid day bad?

It doesn't matter. I water overhead in the day in SE Louisiana where it gets into the 140s plus and it doesn't "burn" the plants. If this was the case then how come nothing ever gets damaged during afternoon rain storms when the sun is shining and it's hot? The problem with 'common sense' is it makes no sense.

Regardless, best time is the morning, right before sunrise. It's just better for the plants period - best water pressure, less stress and the least amount of evaporation.
