My Banana Palm |
||||||||||||
On May 6, 2000 I planted a Banana Palm into the ground in Victoria, it was about 1 metre high and 1 metre wide, the stalk was as thick as a baseball bat handle. Here is what it looked like on August 30, 2000. It is now nearly 2 metres high, and the stalk is twice the original size. |

Another view, all new leaves have grown to nearly 1 metre each |

A view from above the baby plant, which was only 10 - 12 cm high |

There is only one leaf still burned, the rest are weathered, overall it has doubled in size and durablilty. We live in a tropical climate. |

The mother plant is now 10 - 12 cm across the stalk. |
