Name: Anne Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) Only dead fish go with the flow!
I didn't have a clue as to what my very first banana tree was - was told it was hardy so I put it in the ground early Spring .. it was an 8 inch pup and grew to over 8 feet in about 2 and a half months then started pupping like crazy .. needless to say, I found a good home for it .. it would have eaten the ginger bed it was in - I loved it but it wasn't practical and waaaay to much maintenance digging up pups for this cranky old geezer to keep up with. I found a good home for it and it's babies.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
