Thanks for the suggestions Bob....

As far as the pictures, I hosted them on my web space and then just copy clipped the link and pasted it into the message body....

Banana Growing tips- How to grow banana. » What variety do I have? Jan 31, 2005 07:13 PM (Total replies: 7)

Thanks Bob! Remember, these photos were taken in December and we had already had a hard frost. We usually get one a year in November-December. We rarely get snow or temps below 32 degrees.

I usually cut them back about this time each year to remove the dead tops. We can consistantly get 100 degree days during the summer and 85-95 is probably the average through the summer. Humidity is not usually a problem either and they are irrigated with timers for watering. I usually cut them back to the ground, but this year I think I'll try leaving 3-4' of plant and let them have a head start on growth.

I just found this site and have lots of questions, so I'll be doing a lot of reading!

My first question is, what kind do I have or where can I go to figure that out?(I'll post pictures after work) I live in Austin TX and have for 2 years. The plants where here when we bought the house and have gotten much bigger since. We have 2 plants, both of which have about 10-12 stalks(trees?) each.

I was told the variety we have was ornamental and last night while cutting some leaves back off of the house, I cut a large bloom looking thing. Upon opening it up, I found MANY small bananas! It sounds like from what I've read already here, that one will die. I wish I wouldn't have hit it with my machete. I would have like to have seen them fully grow and ripen. This particular stalk(tree?) was about 14"d and 15' tall.

Thanks
