I over wintered a Banana Tree following instructions from U of I ext. service. I live in zone 5 so I dug up the tree, stored it in a dark cool (very cool) room in my basement. I just recently followed the instructions to cut the tree trunk leaving 12 to 18 inches of trunk, then potted the root ball in a pot in order to get an early start. What should I expect? Will the tree produce a new stalk from the center of the trunk or does the tree produce side shoots from the root ball or both? Thank you Karen |
