Thank you
@gina1960,
@christine and
@ardesia I was going to use "unapting" to impress my other garden friends with how good I was with terminology.
Never once thought anyone else had typos but me. I do have a machete and will get busy with the bananaectomy very soon so baby can grow. I winter over the banana in the garage or simply lay it on the ground and cover it for a light freeze. It works for me. So it's growing slows but never stops. I didn't know about the one and done thing and was surprised when Mamma Banana died back. But thrilled to have the offspring. Thanks, Ladies!
