Hi everyone, I've joined this forum so that I can expand my knowledge on Bananas. I have had Bananas for many years at another property, I was told that they'd never grow as it was in an area that has frosts. But grow they did and they also produced bananas. However as the years went by they became less productive. On our new property in a very warm climate with no frosts, I planted some banana trees 6 months ago and they are doing well but I want to start out right this time and ensure they become really productive trees, perhaps find out where I went wrong. I've just cleaned up the messy bits on the trunk, they are only 8ft tall at this stage, not sure if there is a correct way of cleaning up the trunk. This time I have made the trees a part of my garden rather than just a stand of banana trees, they look lovely and tropical with the trunks cleaned up.
Look forward to being part of this forum.
Glenda
