I take the approach of it being a Sabal palm - I cut off almost all the fronds. Other than that, I don't plant it deep or too shallow and I water the hell out of it for the first two-four days, regardless of fertiliser. After that it's on its own with the exception of the normal daily watering from irrigation.

In the DVD they show the sword pups having been cut off completely root wise as well as the p-stem hacked so there is nothing - and then planted about a foot or so deep in the ground.

I've never planted a banana plant deep. Is that a common thing to do? As in, it's OK to plant bananas deep? I've always thought that they, like most other plants, would not like wet feet, could rot or suffocate.
