My wife and I bought two new Banana trees three weeks ago in Dallas; they were just the trunk not planted in a pot.
We got them home about 100 miles away and planted them that day. One looks ok but the other one is a little mushy on top, can I cut it back or is it gone? Has any one bought a Banana like this, not in a pot? First time i've seen them sold this way, they are about 6' tall and the base is maybe 5" across no leaves |

Sounds like you mak have cooked them. Dig down tyo there corm and see if it's solid. If it's solit start hacking down about 8 inches off the top every 10 days until you start to see growth from the P stem. If its mushy then its gone. Hope this helps
