For most folks, planting bananas into the ground right from the will produce moderate and pleasing growth, providing a tropical look that lasts quite a while. In fact, if nothing else is done, with a little water, the banana plants will grow slowly and maintain their size, although a bit ragged.

I found way, however, this year, to truly accelerate the growth in my ice creams and would like to share. I had been watering and fertilizing lightly and frequently and the bananas grew a little each year. This year I became much more aggressive in feeding, with a bi-monthly application of 9-3-9 tropical fertilizer and over mulching with compost.........hubba-hubba!

My bananas have doubled in size and are pupping like crazy.......

A 20 minute application of work and the benefits are morew than amazing.

For all that think the water alone will turn the trick, think again.....you will get massive growth, a new leaf every day, and true bulk to your small banana grove.....
