Thanks! @Gina1960 Yes the pot is a space-thing. But as you might guess from my screen name, the entire yard is shady. I have half sunny places out front but it is lawn. So I get the driveway, an only the edges, of course. for some reason Dh wants to park a car there??? eyeroll Whistling So this particular pot sits in full sun. Momma banana plant gave us a few bananas and had a baby. The left over trunk is typical? A memorial to Momma?

I do have two of the same banana trees in the back getting morning sun. Houston's morning sun can be harsh, but still, they are the same age, only about 2 ft tall and never reproduced. They just don't get enough sun back there. Shrug! It's pretty though.

I will dig up the pot before it really starts growing and try to untangle the roots (called 'unapting"?) and get it centered in the pot as it also tends to tip over. Thank you.
