How hot is too hot for Bananas? Anyone try shade nets?
My bananas are starting to look miserable again like last year. Daytime highs are in the 90s where I'm at and next month through August they will likely hit 100. It seems they don't really like to grow much at these temps.
I don't have any natural shade in my backyard besides my back porch where I keep my potted plants so all my nanners on the ground take full sun all day.
I've been building some raised beds and I just thought about adding on some long 2x2's to use as stakes to add a shade net. I've looked at Amazon and found some 40% nets for fairly cheap.
Any thoughts?
