Help with banana trees  |
| |
|  We planted four banana trees in front of the house but they never got any bigger even with watering them each day and all the rain coming down. Eventually they died but the weirdest thing happened. One day we looked out there to see in place of each dead banana tree there are four new banana trees coming up so its like there are now 16 of these little guys. Does anyone know about taking care of banana trees? I don't want these ones to just become a waste like the others.

| |  according to where you live and the soil the plants are in 2 ft maybe 3 ft per year or more, if you dig the packed soil around the plants, keep all weeds away from the base of the plants as they will suck up nutrients.and if your lucky enough to not get a freeze or heavy frost like we had last year in florida they'll grow all year, even then they will come back, just trim the frostbitten leaves off the top. the best place to plant them is along the bank of a canal, pond or freshwater lake. this way if you do get a frost the water in the canal and such will keep the roots warmer than the air. you wont have any problems once they get going

| |  Hiya cupkitties,
Wow what a great thing to have Banana Trees growing right in the front of your House. I cannot say anything about Banana Trees or tell you how to grow them Max down there is sure the expert there. How did you get sixteen of them? I love Bananas though. They grow in abundance in the Canary Islands and Tenerife too I think that´s where our main supply of Bananas come from but if yours keep growing like that maybe you will end with a whole plantation. Really nice Story I would be bowled over to have something like that growing in that little bit of garden I have out there and I can´t grow anything anyway as the soil is only a few inches deep. It´s on top of an underground Garage you see. Have you put a photo of them on here? Good luck and I hope they grow really big and tall. If no one else grows them around you you might have loads of people stop and admire them. Does anyone else grow them around there?

| | I never imagined they could grow here at all. I've only ever seen banana trees in television and they're always growing in a jungle. We thought that maybe the dead plants added a lot of nutrients in the soil which aided in the excess ones growing there. I don't know of anyone else that's growing them here but my dad works with a guy who has some and that's how we got the ones we have now. I'll try and get a picture on here soon when we get more sun out. | | | |

| | Yeah. That could be. I always worry they aren't getting enough water but you're right. They may not need much. | | | |

| | I've never raised a banana tree before but a lot of plants don't need that much water.
Try the finger test if they are in pots.
If the soil is wet about an inch down, do not water.
If the soil is dry about an inch down, water moderately.
