Does anyone have banana trees?

We tried banana plants and elephant ears once. They just didn't look right in the space. We yanked them.

You can cut off the big shoots/plants and get rid of them. There is a large underground portion that will send up new shoots. To give them away, just wait a week or two after cutting off the big shoots and new ones will come up. While they are small you can remove them plus a piece of the underground structure and replant. You will be surprised how much is in the ground.

To remove them forever plan to do some digging.

Duke Gardens does and I have seen small bananas on them. Maybe they can advise?

The most common is Musa Basjoo and they do not produce edible bananas. I have a variety that grows pink bananas but they are not edible. Bananas are my favorite thing I planted. They get 15-20'+ and looks tropical. Mine made is past Thanksgiving last year. Post tem for sale on Facebook and someone will take them. You can sell the pups for $10-$15 a piece easily.

Don't listen to these people! Plenty of people will dig up a plant if you want to give it up.
