Default Re: Banana planting depth:is it important and do they adjust themselves to their liki

I plant suckers at least 1 foot deep. I think each generation of suckers comes up a little bit higher so I think a deep planting encourages a longer life for the mat. In Florida, water is a limit to production so planting deep puts the roots deeper where they can access water.
