Default Re: Can bananas be potted when blooming

Ya, better to leave them in the ground and hope for warm weather than digging them up. Destroying the root system is not good and your pretty much guaranteed to loose the fruit that way, at least leaving in the ground there is a chance. You can let them go as long as you can and harvest them young if you have to, they may still ripen fine. Then dig them up for storage after harvest.
