I just bought a Calif Gold and I failed to find what soil mixture I should use for a good growth habit?
What about maintenance i.e. watering, fertilizing, winter maintenance?
Please help.

Dig a 2.5 ft diameter hole for the corm, 2ft. deep. Plant it with 1/3 composted cow manure, 1/3 top soil, and 1/3 peat. Bury the base of the corm in the soil to the point where the brown of the root ball meets the green of the stem. Your banana plant will be luvin it..
