I'm posting this question here instead of on a tropical plant forum b/c things are different in Texas! Bananas here don't need a lot of winter protection like they do in the north, but unlike Florida, they will have some freeze damage, so should I wait?
My bougainvillea fell over during Ike and I'm taking it out completely. Right now just the trunk is left and I'm having it removed. I'm tired of being stabbed by its thorns. I want to move my mini pink bananas to that spot. Can I do it now? How do I do it?
If you know of a good thread or website, please share. Thanks!
Can I transplant bananas now to post-Ike bare spot?

another forum about bananas...lol...
I have lots of "regular" bananas with redish flowers that you can have if yours die in the transplant or if you need something to "fill in". It is good to hear that you are doing well. I had fun getting to know you at the daylily sale. Our house had a pine tree fall on a neighbor's roof. The neighbor on the other side lost a huge pecan tree so I have a lot more light now. More fruit trees..... yea!

Moodene, I must have answered you in my head and not with an actual post. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner to thank you for the links.
Tabitha! I remember that you were trying to get rid of bananas at the daylily sale! Still at it I see! I'll let you know if I need some. I haven't transplanted yet because I'm waiting to get the bougainvillea stump out of there. It already has new shoots. Scary. Also, I might wait on the banana that has fruit. I know it will freeze before ripening, but I still want to try!
My yard is completely different now too. My neighbor's cedar uprooted and I had to have most of the willow oak that leaned over my house cut off and the top of it snapped off in the storm. My neighbor on the other side lost the top half of his huge pine tree. Two oak trees across the street uprooted and two pine trees on either side of the street two doors down uprooted. The sun and the skyline are just completely different.
Good to hear from you, Tabitha, and I'll let you know about the bananas!
