what many people fail to realize, or it seems like they do, is everybody has different soils. mine is golden sand, which holds no moisture. some bananas grow ok in it, but many do not. many other things like slight differences in weather, one extra frost can do it.
Yeah I love the taste of them! So I was hoping it would have done better. My soil is grey sand and I added quite a bit of organic matter but it just always looked like it was chlorotic and struggled to grow no matter what I did. I didn't see any evidence of nemotodes or anything. Roots looked fine, it was just severely stunted.
