To be honest I thought the tree was dead and a couple of weeks ago I cleaned the garden and pulled all the dead leaves off and cleared around the base. Maybe thats exactly what it needed. Ive been talking to a few people about it and they said it will take like months for them to fully grow and ripen, so the wait is on. And im not going to cover them or anything. I hope I dont lose any. Just hope Jackson doesnt like bananas. I dont think he will eat them. But you never know with him.
Our neighbour has a banana tree on the other side of the fence, right next to ours. Turns out he planted them both years and years ago and 1 grew on our side. His tree has never given bananas and ours have a few times over the years. So once they ripen, ill go give him a bunch.
I will keep you updated. xox
