that's a pussy banana tree ash. mine get at least 10-11 feet tall.

considering i planted it in late July, that was pretty good. But yeah, my elephant ears and bananas are starting to peak through the soil again. gonna be a lush summer I hope.

[Blake]

ohhhh... lol. i thought you meant 4 feet the whole summer.

the biggest one is already above my waist by a couple of inches (i'm 6'3). a few others are about 6-7 inches tall, and some more are around 4 inches tall.

the ones at my old place were easily 10-14 ft. absolutely ridiculous. the trunks were about 19 inches across

what else grows in your yard?

Any good organic fertilizer should do - Gardenville and Ladybug are two that I've gotten good results from.

Keep soil moist but not saturated. Fertilize with a mild fertilizer (13-5-13 is ideal) at every watering.

A good rule of thumb is: if you get less than 1 leaf per week, you are not fertilizing enough. It’s hard to burn a banana with fertilizers. Use organically rich soil, in warm to very warm and humid conditions. Protect from strong winds if planted outdoors.
Musas can grow from 5' to 35' in as little as one year depending on variety and growing environment.

yeah, we have to saw the trunks down fo sho. then cover with mulch, and they grow back.

bamboo (i have enough bamboo to build a small town), elephant ears, white oleander, a few kinds of shrubs, some evergreens, random flowers, some herbs (tons of mint, dunno where tf it came from), and some other random stuff.

i'll take some pics in the next few weeks when it's a bit better looking.

i also planted some melons this year for when i goto the river and such. some israeli melons (i call em jew melons), cantaloupe, and watermelon.

[Blake]

That shit is rhizomic. it's best to chop and till.
