What is the preferred way to transplant larger bananas? I would especially like to know about planting deeper. My plan was to mound up around the base to stabilize it. I felt that this would be preferred to staking and risking the stalk breaking in the wind. I guess this really isn't planting deeper insomuch as it is just mounding up around the base. Also I felt that I could pull this back later as the plant developed new roots. If roots developed in this area I would just leave it mounded.
Thanks
