Default Re: musa red tiger,hardly any roots?

Jazz, by any chance is your well drained soil amended with lots of sand. I recently sent out some plants and found that these amended with sand had half the root growth of those that were high in perlite/ vermiculite etc. These were pretty healthy plants to look at but the difference in root growth was stunning to me.
