Thanks Andrew. I would love to plant it but my back yard is really dry. I wouldn't be able to grow the bananas if not for the sprinklers. But no matter how much it rains, the ground drains too fast.
I imagine the plant is like the pineapple and likes deep fertile soil. The pineapple will grow in a 5gal pot just fine. But in the ground the roots go up to 5ft deep an only then will it grow a full size fruit.
