Hey, Fred! Glad to see some more people from the Houston area joining the forum. You're the second new one in about a week and a half now (BigTex is the other). What area are you in? I'm in the Pearland/Friendswood area. We'll have to get together sometime.

From my experiences growing bananas here, you can expect a wait of around 4 months before harvest. That's how it's been for me with my 'Orinoco' anyhow. 'Ice Cream' may be a bit different.

For the PVC support diagram, I think that Jarred (MediaHound) posted that sometime back. Do a thread search with "PVC support" as the keywords and see what you come up with.
