Joy Re: How to label in-ground banana plants?

A bit of DIY. What I do is to use a 3ft hollow square aluminum tubing for the stand and a piece of 3x8in plywood. I paint the plywood a gloss green with a black edge. The plywood is then screw on with two small screws to the stand. I then write the name of the 'naner on it in white. If I have to change the name, I just sand it off and repaint it.
Normally for stability, I knock 1ft into the ground. The aluminum doesn't rot and the plywood with the gloss paint as protection last a long time.
It works out well with the tropical sun and rain here. And I think it looks kinda nice.
