If we had a choice we would grow quickly, it's those pesky winter months that get in the way.


My advice to anyone on the sandy coasts of Florida is to add manure. Organic matter is the key to growing bananas in Florida. I have some rocky/marly/sandy soils on part of my home farm and I keep adding organic material to try and save myself from fertilizing.
