We bought some small bajoo banana trees that were about 12 inches tall. I accidentally broke one of the banana tree's trunk off right at the base. Will it come back?... this year? Any special TLC things I can do to assist in the recovery? Is it worth saving or just replace?

On another note, I bought 6 other bajoos as well... they are all growing remarkably slow, relatively speaking to other banana's I've grown. I've had to cut back my elephant ears twice now, just so the bajoo bananas would be fully exposed to the sun. Any tips on feeding/caring and assisting these grow would be appreciated also.

Thanks in advance!

The banana will come back so don't worry about that. Just don't over-water and rot the corm until it does.

Banana's require a lot of heat? What are your highs and lows? You can try some black plastic mulch to heat up the soil. The banana's will just lift it up if you place it lightly on the ground.

I am in south AL and even my banana plants have been slow to take off due to our cooler than normal nights this year.
