Yes, it looks in the first picture like you are trying to keep your plants from running away! Isn't it true that we always want what we can't have? I would love to be able to grow Mountain Laurel here. My neighbor has these in the corner of his yard, and after trying to keep them out of my yard I gave up and they took over my corner also. After a few years of dealing with these tall, rather ugly plants that would keep falling over (and never had Bananas, by the way), I finally chopped them all down and put poison on the roots to claim my yard back. Now whenever I see a stray plant trying to come over I immediately chop it down.
Huh, I have such a time dragging mine in & out so they won't be killed by cold weather that it never occurred to me that bananas could be invasive! If they do that well for you, you might try putting in a good tasting variety like 'Apple Banana'... maybe in a big pot so it won't run away, LOL.
