Hey y'all.

Just added my Siam ruby as my avitar, I feel so high tech!

Anyway, I was worried about it through the winter and lost about half of the height on the pstems. But it came back and has done just fine here in 8b.

Interestingly, I have had some leaf roller damage too but a little "ortho max" took care of the problem. This is the first time I've had a problem with leaf rollers and bananas, and the reason I don't fool with cannas.

I bet you do have spider mites being so hot and dry! How do you grow bananas in such low humidity - are they happy?
