![]() Omg! Congrats dude!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have an Ice Cream banana plant but it's only about 2 feet tall. You said you cut it to 5 feet tall... Did you cut off the leaves too? Did you store it as a dormant plant? Sorry for all the questions but this is total excite! ![]()

![]() Thanks All ...
Hollyberry... I'm sure you're going to have your own soon. Nicest thing you could have said JaNan.... Thanks......I feel kind of"stinky" about now over it! ![]() Thanks Cory, yeah I just whacked it off in October every year with a machete through the p-stem and brought it into my heated front porch indoors and it always started growing right away so, in colder zones this seems a good way to go. It was too tall for me to leave it whole and bring in each fall. Don't ever worry about questions..... just how I learned here. ![]() I still don't have a clue really .... I'm sure you will Howard.... want a pup just say the word!.... Thanks man. ![]() |

![]() Bob, you've got a strong-looking plant so I'm guessing you'll get quite a few hands. Well-deserved reward for your hard work. Getting them to mature will be a challenge, I imagine. Better get some plans for a heated greenhouse!

![]() Hey Matt, my neighbors must think I'm nuts and one last night was asking why we kept staring at the one plant every 5 minutes.... the cat's out of the bag. Hope I can get some to share. Might have to start thinking of fall protection to see if I can get some mature fruit.... should I get some going.
