Banana Growing tips- How to grow banana. » Taking a cutting Nov 8, 2005 07:55 AM (Total replies: 5)

I now have about 44 trees (counting the babies) and the only tree this year that had fruit was one that I took a pup from, as a matter of fact I took two pups from it. It still has two more that came out this year. I have harvested the fruit (mighty good too!) and cut the main tree down to about 4 inches. Some of my trees are about 18 ft. high and provide good shade for the swing. I have transplanted several trees from the MOTHER tree, and they have all survived. I started out with 8 or 9 trees and have multiplied to 44. I'm running out of room for them. My wife even took some to the school where she teaches and they have survived there. (Bad soil and all) Banana trees are very hardy here in south Georgia (Savannah).

You should have no problem with seperating them. I have several trees and have taken a shovel and just pushed it down between the grown tree and "baby" and move the pup to a new location and have not lost a single tree! Just keep the pup watered good for the first week and make sure you refill the hole where you took it from to keep the grown tree from getting a nasty infection or someting.

I have a tree that had a fruit pod come out and now it has 2 bunches of banannas on it, however as the pod keeps opening, the rest die and fall off. Now I have two bunches of banannas and a stem without anything on it. Any Idea's what's wrong?

I have about 23 plants now and started with 5. I have seperated them at all stages. I just make sure I get as far away from the original plant as I can and still have plenty of soil and root system for the seperated plant. I do however, water them ALOT for the first three or four days and they have all turned out fine, not a single lost to any of them.
