Hi all,

A local old-style amusement park ("Jungle Village") was torn down, and I got the demo guys to set aside some of the clumps of neglected bananas for me. I got two trailer loads. After cleaning them up and pulling off pups, I have about 60 new plants. Many are over 7 feet tall. I also got to have a nice experience seeing some old old root masses. Everything looked healthy, just tired and in need of some care.

Here's part of the harvest...

this first shot is a panorama showing the second batch lined up against the outer fence of my west garden. I filled two trash barrels with the dead leaves, also threw out the 'foreign' soil (just in case...). This batch was 20 plants/root masses, but after splitting off pups, the total was 44.
