Default Re: Newby to bananas N of Houston, TX

Wow you guys, thanks for the input. We moved here from Oregon 3 years ago and are starting to get a feel for the climate here which is Warm/Hot/Hot Truly! So we're learning about tropical landscape.

I do cut the bananas totally back to the ground in the winter, it actually does get cool enough a couple of times for them to die back. So if I'm getting this, where each "clump" is there really should be just one in order to bear fruit?

These plants provide awesome shade where they are and look great, so I can happily transplant "pups" to other areas for fruiting purposes.
