Default Re: Outdoor Bananas in Pots

Its easier to control things. The crappy quality soil in front of the house (with tons of roots from other plants that were there for 8 years) killed one of my pups. So far the Raja Puri has absolutely loved its new home. I had it in a 25gal plastic container for almost a year and it barely grew... although it did die down to the ground during winter so that slowed things down. It most certainly was not root bound when I pulled it out.

No competition
controlled aeration
tighter control on nutrients
