Shredded Bananas!


I promised myself I would not blog more than once per day, but this entry is going to be so short as to count as only .5 of a blog. OK? Here is a picture of my banana tree after the wild storm Thursday night. Banana leaves are notorious for shredding and should be planted in a sheltered position. I think it is kind of neat though-if you like the tropical look. It does not harm the banana tree and so there are no worries on the gardener's part! Another cool thing about bananas that I never knew until last year, is that after the first hard freeze this 10 foot tall tree disappears! It really is amazing how something so big can be taken down so fast. It does come back in the spring.

  2. I know, that is what I was thinking or along the lines of a tiki hut. I like it too.
