I don’t have a pic of that monster, but Polly sat there last year. The propane guy loved my banana and pepper plants. Didn’t even see her. Maybe he did. ![IMG_9968](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/f/b/ffb4a7deeab9d4d940539c8bab21d3a31bd1b760.jpeg) We keep the giants out back now and all I have this year is bushes. ![IMG_9019](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/6/f/a6f8e007fc9a048f817accfb28ba72ed63e4c8ef.jpeg) The bananas usually live on and around a concrete table in the front(?) yard. I currently have them in partial shade. ![IMG_1517](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/3/4/03467a528775742694937105d3165ffc52bf9384.jpeg) They’ll go back in Sept. Just in time for harvest ---

Same boat here …I followed his advice The poor man …he had to go full on Sesame Street terms to get me to understand … Cut the biggest Then the next biggest … So on … Lol…it really made such a huge difference and I finally understood his first answer about any leaf not attached to a bud site I intend to keep …as soon as all the big leaves were gone ---

I’ve never had any fruit on them. Several reason possible, The roots must be maintained above a certain temperature for 9 months for normal banana plants to fruit. I didn’t know that when I first got them. Also, and this is more likely, they are strictly decorative and will never fruit. I get little plants from the older plants when they grow from the roots. I have a few (7 or 8) and I have given away dozens. ---
