Default Re: Man, they grow Fast!!

Frank, those look great! On your tallest orinoco in the first pic (the one that fruited for you), were you able to save any of last year's leaves, or did it grow four leaves by May 1? I've decided that corm size doesn't help bunch size, but the number of leaves does! My puny bunches on huge corms are a testament to that.

And in comparison, my bananas still hadn't opened up their first leaf completely by May 1.
