Default Re: Musa itinerans var. itinerans is creeping into the yard.

this statement is not specific to Itinerans how and why a banana will run has a lot to do with soil texture and of cours genetics in Lome they will run as there roots will penetrate easily in to the surrounding space but if your like allot of people living in areas were cleacha is the norm they don't spred at all a good barer method is to dig a trench around the bed at least 3 ft deep and 2 ft wide fill with a mixture of sand and rock pack it in tight Bananas have fairly tender roots and don't like this type of soil
