this is great info - I have a ton of bananas growing in my yard, and no real idea what to do with them! All I've done with them is to add compost - and by compost, I mean, I toss every other plant that's dying back there. There's a saw palmetto underneath keeping the roots cool, so maybe that helps?

I've got three "pods" of fruit - the bees seem to love them, which is grand, though they tend to congregate in the dropped flowers and stumble around on the ground. I'm wondering if they're drunk. :)
