I am so tickled! A friend just gifted me with a big old banana tree. I would like to sink it in the ground with my cannas and EEs but I'm not sure the best way to go about it. It will have to be brought in next fall so should I just bury it pot and all? If so should I cut the bottom out of the pot to give the roots more room?
As you might guess I'm quite inexperienced with bananas. The only other one I've had was purchased on clearance last fall and the poor thing never made it through the winter. Any advice or tips would be most welcome...thanks so much!
BTW I don't know if it makes a difference but I have no idea what kind of tree it is. The tag simply said 'Banana' and it stands 3'-4' tall. Some of the outer leaves are dead (I assume I should remove those?) but otherwise it looks quite healthy.
