Best way to wake up dormant bare root bananas
I have Tall Orinocos and a small saba(Not sure what I was thinking on that one) under the house in the crawl space. When should I start waking them up? How long does it take for them to show signs of growth, and how do you plant them? Do you just dig a hole and put them in it, do you need to brace them up? I have access to a shop with very tall ceilings that stays at least 10 degrees warmer than outside. Would it be good to start them about a month or 2 early in the shop by planting them in tubs to get a headstart? I was thinking maybe about march 15th when temps try to stay above or around freezing outside. Usually may 1st is safe to plant here, it would be nice to plant them with a leaf or two emerged. Oh and also, should water be light at first?
