I received my plants last december. Grew them under lights in 1 gal pots until mid feb. Then i moved them outside in dappled shade/sun until they went in the ground in early april, and of march. That was the first 6 plants. The second round of TC i ordered and they arrived in march. I attemped to put them right in the ground, and most nearly died within a few weeks. I dug them up and potted under the shady area, and by mid summer they went in the ground.. all are at least 8 ft now. I did fertilize them weekly.. i used banana fuel when they were in pots, and 13/13/13 when they went in the ground. Every other week i would add a tablesoon of potassium sulphate to the 1/2C of 13/13/13.

Here they are Apr 8, a few weeks after going into the ground.


Here they are 2 months later on June 25


And here they are Sept 4 The bananas in the foreground are the pups I received from Akula. They are planted on a retaining wall, that drops 2 feet down to the namwah patch below. For perspective, the 4x4 post section visible is 8ft.
