Re: Southeast "Dry-Root" Winter Storage
You're lucky – I'm 5'3" and had to get them by myself down into my basement. Fortunately, mine weren't near as big as yours, but I swear one rootball/stem weighed like 200# since it was just me! BTW,...

Re: Southeast "Dry-Root" Winter Storage

Re: Going bananas in Ohio
I think your bananas & yard look great ... good job!
I also love the Maurelli – they grow fast and add really nice color. However, I have not been thrilled with the way they've overwintered for me....
