Mine seem to grow as fast and as easily as any other musa Im growing. In fact, it suffered zero damage from three frosts in my yard last season. I'm also fertilizing mine with organics. I think keeping them growing at a fast pace, and growing them in full sun helps quite a bit. Probably doesn't hurt to have S.Fl. climate either.
