Help!!! Needed FAST!! Jun 11, 2006 11:53 AM
(Total replies: 3)
I am replying to the member who stated that my banana tree was probably gettting too much sun, too much water or fertilizer. I can appreciate what he or she is saying, but I had a horticulturist recently visit me -- and the plant was moved from behind an oak tree to an area where the plant would obtain the best sun -- he first cut it down to the bare bottom, leaving no leaves; then it just "took off!" He told me that these plants require a lot of sun and water at least twice a day. Perhaps if I lived a little fruther south in Florida (I am now in Ocala), I would have to reconsider this; but for the time being, the plant is doing quite well. This does not mean, however, that the reply(ies) were not appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Hi all: Being a new member of this forum, please pardon me if what I include in this message has been discussed many times over; but I have finally found a site that is dedicated to the one tree that depicts my passion for the garden. A friend recently presented my wife with a banana tree. We live in Ocala, Florida and it's extremely common to see these trees survive in this climate, although they do not bare any fruit. I have a "huge" problem. When the plant was first put in the ground, perhaps two weeks ago, the bottom leaves started changing color -- then they were totally black. For aesthetic reasons, I clipped them off. The tree is a relatively new plant and is no more than two feet tall, give or take an inch or so. Now, however, the tree is changing drastically. There is evidence of a change in the color of the trunk, to a brownish color and some of the leaves are also changing, some with a "black to brown" hue and now with yellow on the fringes. When I first planted the tree, I gave it plenty of water. Since it first started changing its color, I feared that it was getting too much water, so I stopped watering it as much. I used "Miracle Gorw" on the plant as well. The plant is situated in a place where it will generally receive direct (or mostly direct) sunlight from about 1 in the afternoon until dusk. Doesa anyone have any suggestions for me? My wife just "loves" this tree and I would hate to see it die. You may feel free to contact me at mea305@aol.com Thanks, Mark |
