This of course has very little to do with Zacarius who is complaining about bananas to grow here when in fact he does not have a viable growing environment.
Couple months ago I had a 3 foot shoot. We just harvested fruit and it had a 12 foot pseudo at harvest. I cut the 12 footer down and recycled it and the 3 foot pup is now 8 foot. No care at all since I planted it December of 2016 and it is planted in sand and compacted phosphate clay which is common in my neighborhood. I heard Klotek was near the same but Klotek is not even close and seems to be pupping at a smaller height.
