Gabe, you might want to consider a "diamond" pattern when you plant your additional bananas, a common practice in commercia orchards. The plants in the adjoining rows are at the midpoint between plants the beginning row and so forth. You can still go 10 x 10 if you want or you can have plants slightly altered to get the desired spacing you want. Planting in a square pattern is not ideal for weed supression or light utilization.

Good luck,

Harvey
