Default Re: Bananas as waterplants???

Ok this happened to me! I live in Phoenix AZ and went to a local nursery (expensive, they think they are the bomb....) and saw water plants. Sure enough, they had three dwarf cavendishes soaking in water and labeled as water plants. It even told you how deep to plant them in water. Now it was mid 80s then and now is mid 90s. I feasibly see how they COULD do well but like mskitty says, it can be a risk especially for us growing nanners in non-native conditions even if it is hot. I'm plenty happy with giving my bananas tons of water in this weather but soaking indefinitely?... hmm
