Growing Banana Plants in New York - Early Summer Update

Many of my tropical banana plants died in winter storage, but the ones I have left have proven to be AMAZING here in New York. They grow fast and are easy to overwinter. What more could you ask for? Banana plants need a lot of heat to look their best, so the plants in this video are really just starting to hit their summer stride. I’m trying a few new hardy banana species and a few fun tropical ones, too. I can’t wait to see how they do this year & share my experiences with you. Like & subscribe to see more updates later this summer.
