I have been babying the large Banana tree for almost 2 years now. It is one that my Dad planted in his greenhouse. I made the mistake of putting it in the front yard last summer, well the wonderful Leeds wind that we have blew it to shreds so I cut it all back and brought it in the house for the winter hoping I could revive it. It had little shoots coming up that were shredded as well. By bringing it in the house I was able to nurse it back to health again. I transplanted all the little shoots last night. I will have my own little forest of banana trees real soon. I am hoping that more shoots will come up so I can transplant more. I did not inherit my Dads green thumb at all, so I am very pleased that they are looking as good as they look. Fowlks Forest of Banana Trees, how does that sound? I like it!!!!! :)
