I, too, have a young banana plant, and am running into something I didn't expect. At maybe one month old, 9 leaves and 18" tall, it has sprouted another plant at the root level.
What do I do with this second plant? Cut it from the larger one and see if it will grow on its own? Prune it off? I'm new to bananas, and any information is appreciated.
I have a similar situation. My rather young banana plant (one month, maybe 9 leaves and 18" tall) has sprouted another plant at the root level. I checked out the URL listed above, but it's no longer available.

Is it possible to grow edible ginger in North Georgia, indoors or out? If so, what is a good variety for a newbie to ginger plants? Would the grocery store variety described in this forum be a good place to start?
We're interested in growing a banana tree, and are hoping there is a variety that can handle a North Georgia winter, and yet still yield edible fruit. We do have a vaulted living room that could accommodate an indoor plant, especially in winter, but it's already a bit of a jungle in there. Plus that room doesn't get a lot of direct light (the back of the house is heavily shaded, even in winter).
We're experienced gardeners, including apple, pear and plum trees, but bananas are completely new for us. Any advice is appreciated.
