NOW here is my baby that I am talking about. I had a nursey 2 doors from my house for several years. He had this Musa approx 7 years ago. And every year I tried to buy it from him and he wouldnt sell it to me. He closed the nursey 2 years ago. So I know this Nanner is 7 years old. I got it yesterday. I was on a 24hr shift and my hubby called me and told me that there was an action at my favorite (no longer existing) nursey. So what did I do I took my lunch at the auction......lol Then I had to take several hrs off that afternoon to help him bring home everything he bought. Thank goodness we only lived 2 doors away. So when I got this baby (not so tiny) home I cut all the leaves but the one off cuz I didnt want to disturb any other news leaves underneath. And it just bearly fit in my garage.....lol. The leaves were as bad as the little ones above. This is the biggy question. I want to Know is there something special to fertilize Nana. I have heard something about fish emulsion and is it a good thing or bad thing. Help me Keep this baby for another 7 years X 100 if I can.....lol

BTW ignore the mess in the garage it is winter here remember and everything gets tossed there. Also my husband had to move the motorcycle out for my babies. LOL
