As for leaves:
8 leaves until flowering
6 leaves when flowering
4 leaves after you cut the flower.

As for suckers:
For maximum growth only keep it once your banana plant start to flower.
If you do want to keep earlier, keep 1 at 3 months and another at 8 months.

Keep sword suckers and cut the rest as this is the only one with vigorous growth.

Just sharing for those who'd like to try differently.

very appreciative to see people in Europe struggling to grow banana plants, while in the tropics it is very easy to see banana trees grow well even without care even the tubers that have been thrown away can thrive

[kimmicannon]

Those doggies really love banana palm 😂. Good info. Thanks.

Excuse me, but what've you got there?? Are they Vegan dogs or Sheep ?? Eating grass and "eating" banana leaves ?? NEver seen in my life !!! ALll the best with your banana plantation, and be careful with those cold days, protect them !!

This is so cool! Couple questions for you as i am considering buying and planting a banana plant. I love in Charlotte, NC in grow zone 8a (same as Atlanta's grow zone). Do you do anything to protect your banana plant in the winter or do you just let it do its thing? Also is there dwarf varieties you recommend growing in our region to produce fruit? 3rd, did you have to amend the native soil? I assume atlanta has red clay as well, just wondering if bananas do well in clay soil? Thanks!!

[mrosner]

Incredible healthy looking plants you got there 😊 we just planted our first one (blue java) following your instructions from the first video! Thank you sooo much!

You can give them too much water. I planted one in the spring and then we got a lot of rain and a bit of cod whether. The combination made the plant rot out at the base and the medium and small pups died. They did come back several weeks later but the one that I kept in a container did much better. Be careful how much water you give them when you first put them in the ground.

Banana leaves make excellent tea as well as chicken & other house pets.

I want to what distance between one banana tree to the next if you are planting then in a row?

[dinafortune]

What type of fertilizer and planting soil do you use?

[captainblackjon]

Explains why a Banana plant is not a tree and then repeatedly calls it a tree.. haha

[lancer]

Exactly what time of year should pups be planted/transplanted in order to begin the cycle to produce fruit? Reason I ask is, my mom had Banana trees all over the place when I was growing up, and none of them ever produced the first fruit, even though they were brought up from Florida as fruiting banana plants. We were just to the northeast of Macon. So if I were wanting to grow bananas, what month would I start the pups? How would I keep them from being killed off by frost in the winter? Lots of details missing...

[debragray]

wearher forcast says this coming Tuesday will have a liw temperature of 32 degrees!!! What is your pricess to protect your banana trees ??

[that_garden_gnome]

hmm mine don't like water... planted some in cloth pots and they seem to be root rotting and i only watered once in the last 2 weeks...moisture staying the same according to a moisture meter.
i guess they might take time and more sun to wake up? been overcast mostly here in 9b

Tysm. I bought my 1st one last year and it grew great until winter and it turned brown and was completely dead one morning! I was so bummed. BUT this spring it came back!!! Actually 2 of them(or maybe one came out of the side, but it looks separate?) so do I cut one off? If so, which one? The old one or the newer one? Is there any way to keep/save both? It is still pretty short though, maybe waist high. Should I be taking off the lower leaves? I do take off one once in a while if it looks dead or rotting. Thank you to anyone for any advice! 🌱
Great, informative video!!

[amietyner]

I just bought a house that has banana plants/trees and I’m trying to learn how to care for them. I love all of your videos but would love to get some info on winterizing them. Any suggestions?

[jean-pierreluna]

Hey I just bought a bannana tree but the leaves got badly damaged should I just chop them all off so new leaf's can grow?
