Default Re: World's biggest and tallest bananas!

Ok I'm starting to understand the whole novelty of it, having a banana as tall as a tree. And knowing myself I'd probably have to grow it just to see if I could. Only, I worry that here in FL that thing wouldn't have the natural wind protection that it does in its habitat, and sadly it would just get ripped to shreds or uprooted. Then, of corse, there is the problem of fetching off the bananas from 40 feet up. That too is another thing I don't get about these herbs, I mean, its not like the nanners are any bigger you know? Well maybe the bunch is somewhat larger, and that epic 3ft inflorescense I mean come on. How could I bring myelf to orphan something in such terrible soil, knowing there is nothing but sand and dense muck only 6 inches down. This thing is gonna need at least 5ft of really nice black stuff. Anything less would just be torture to its roots. Trying to hold onto those enormous, 20ft beautiful green leaves. Way up there just bouncing on the air shading everything 3 stories beneath. Wow. . . *zzzzz*. . .huh? Ah heck, where can I get one of those for my yard???
