I'm bringing my nanners back from winter dormancy (some wintered in the ground and a few in the garage) for the first time and worried about growth, choking, etc. The growth rate has been really slow so far but I can only compare it to last year's active growth rate when they were cranking out a leaf a week. Temps have been upper 60's in the day (now mid 70's) and lower 50's with mostly cloudy weather. Last couple days we have had some good sun.

I was wondering the same thing... have some orinoco's also , ( so I have been told), stored for the winter, I guess I'll just cut it until I see green in the center



plant them and see what happens.
this pic is pretty well right after I dug them,, but they still look about the same right now, none of the outer layers are turning brown at all, even at the very top
