Awesome video with great information. I live in Peru, and my wife and I bought a 1000m2 plot in the high jungle. Our house is about complete, so will move into it in about a month or two. Can't wait to get the forest garden churning! We have wild bananas growing around us, so will transplant a couple pups. Thanks for the video!

I live in zone 5a/b northern Michigan and am growing multiple banana plants and they are thriving because of these steps. They really do work

Nice work.
Its still winter in Botswana. My bananas were affected badly by a really cold snap last month, but they survived. I am waiting for the spring to come so they wake up and start growing again. The next season will be their 2nd year so I expect them to produce fruits. Right now I am packing a lot of compost and some companion plants around them to help them grow as quickly as possible when they are ready.

What if your entire yard, planters, garden areas have small ants. They don't bite. We are a block off A1A in Ormond Beach.

Personally I would try not to pull the leaves all the way down to the base. When you do that it strips a layer off of the stem making it thinner and more susceptible to toppling over.

I find the flower to help for me checking in the banana rack, the flower petals drop on the ground and it’s easier for me to pay attention to the flower than the rack

What do you use for fertilizer and when?

@caprimungeam662 1 month ago

It might be better to take the pups first, then only lay the leaves down once.

what is the name of these banana trees in this video?

I grew up in San Diego c. 1950. Banana's don't grow fruit. I have seen some little tiny ones. I've seen frost kill the trees. So buy a big electric heater and keep it ready. According to some folks the earth is heating up, But not enough to grow banana's in Diego.

I’m in Jacksonville. What would you recommend me to do for mine to survive our winter in 9a. Mainly curious about my dwarf Cavendish and Blue Javas.

@9bfigs872 1 month ago

I do fish emulsion in a bucket once a week in the “NEW” 10a zone in central Florida. It’s definitely not 10a winters so I have to make mine grow as fast as possible to try and get a rack. I also put ungodly amounts of whatever scraps and compost I can find around them. Bananas are GREEDY GLUTTONOUS plants. They want water and food. Lots of it. When those two concepts are understood you can grow nanners it’s just HOT to be outside doing all this🤣
