Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil amended with compost. Provide shelter from windy sites to avoid shredded leaves. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Cut the stem back to about 2' in autumn in zones 5-8, making sure the roots are well mulched; remaining dead material can be removed in spring. Alternate occacasionly, overwinter indoors in a large container, keeping barely moist. The plant may flower and fruit if planted in the ground in zones 9-10.

As advertised! Strong red markings in the leaves

These banana plants have exceeded my expectations. I purchased 2 of them this spring and they've done well and the red in the leaves has remained strong. I'm very happy with them. I'll test their hardiness this winter but so far impressive.
