Good call on pics
. Ice Creams should be in full sun from the day they're planted. For a small plant like yours, if you're wanting to transplant it to a sunny location, just be sure & dig deep (a foot or so) down to get as much root as possible - you can always fill in the hole, later. But yes, I put pups as small as 3-4" tall out in full sun and I've never lost one in the past 3 years now.
BTW, be sure & fill the new hole with water before putting the plant into it. That way the water doesn't have to take time soaking down to get to the roots.
Will study the pics once you post them. PM me to let me know where they are. Also, I've invited Bob to join in the thread. He, too, has very good luck with Ice Creams & can offer second opinions.
Just don't panic, bananas are a bit more difficult to kill than you might think.
