Where to Plant Bananas - Banana Site Selection 

Just trying to be specific haha. People love details. This is the ideal setup for maximizing growth if possible

Just planted one but leaves are browning out even with watering it daily but it does get all day sun

Awesome! Let me know how your banana growing experience goes. Still learning myself!

Good information to n know 👍 thanks

If your bananas are in a more mild climate, large swings in temperature are not good for them

Hey Michael, I am in zone 8a in Atlanta. Last year I had them in pots and brought them indoors. This year I’m going to be trying a couple new techniques for overwintering. Pipe tape, Christmas lights, bubble wrap, etc. To really find out what works. We only get down to upper 20’s in Atlanta and probably only about 10 times. So you only need to help a little to keep those stems alive. But lots of testing coming this fall and winter!

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevogCharlotte NC here.. you think the roots survive a night or two of freezing trmperstures?

Unfortunately it’s going to be really hard for you. I’d suggest growing in a pot so you can bring them indoors

I think it just got stunted a little by the heat. Pruning additional leaves can help reduce heat exhaustion because then it’s not absorbing as much sunlight anymore. The ones on your front yard are killing it. I think the partial shade helps

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog do you think it will have a chance at flowering by late fall? It’s almost a year old as I over wintered it

@@blaynesplantvlog7117 If your temperatures stay above 60 into late october, I think theres a good chance you will get a flower. It really depends on the variety though. Some don't fruit until like 15 feet - so hopefully that's not what you have

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog a new leaf came out and it is doing the exact same thing as the rest not really extending its leaf stem out .. now the crown is very crowded and the leaf pedials are stacking on top of each other with much stem growth

@@georgiafarmingwithfluevog oh that would be amazing to see a flower!!!

I have not had any issues with pests or disease yet. Just make sure they don’t stay wet and sit in water
