A Guide to Planting Bananas
Bananas contain essential vitamins needed by ones body.
The following steps instruct on how to plant bananas.
Choose a sunny and warm planting place with well-drained soil. The California Rare Fruit keep it warm. However, a place with warm temperatures and little wind is preferable to planting Growers suggest planting a banana tree near a warm building to protect it from the wind and help next to a building. Do not choose a building that blocks out too much sun; planting a banana tree to the south of a building ensures that it will get enough light.
Spread a layer of compost over the planting area and till it into the soil. Bananas prefer rich soil with good drainage, and compost helps improve your soil's drainage and nutrient levels.
Weed the planting area so that the new banana tree does not have as much competition for moisture and nutrients.
Plant the banana tree sucker by digging a small hole, placing the end of the new stalk in the hole and filling in the hole with soil around the stalk. Commercial nurseries usually cut off the tops of suckers, so all or most of a small stubby sucker may need to go under the ground. If a thin stem sticks out of the wide base, plant the sucker so that the stem sticks out above ground. Texas A&M University suggests planting ornamental trees 2 to 3 feet apart and spacing trees for fruit production at least 8 feet apart from each other.
Water the plant regularly. Banana trees require lots of irrigation because of their large leaves, according to the California Rare Fruit Growers and the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Water it deeply, and do not let the soil completely dry out. However, do not water the tree so much that it sits in standing water.
Fertilize the tree once every two months with a 3-1-6 ratio fertilizer or its equivalent, such as a 6-2-12 ratio. Start by using 1/2 pound of fertilizer. The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences suggests increasing the fertilizer amount slightly each time until the tree flowers and fruits. When the banana tree begins to flower, it should receive 5 to 6 pounds of fertilizer.
Prune the tree to remove any new shoots, as the California Rare Fruit Growers suggest. Fruit producers can allow one shoot to continue growing when the tree is six to eight months old to replace the old stalk for the next growing season.
Cut off the old tree stalk after it produces fruit. The new shoot will produce more fruit in the following year than the old stalk, so fruit growers trim off the old one and allow one shoot to grow. Trim it to a height of approximately 30 inches, and then remove it completely when it dies off in several weeks. If you're growing bananas for ornamental purposes, you can skip this step and allow the old tree to keep growing.

Green Plant Garden of the winter safely, "difficulty"
Have colorful flowers, rare plants gathered in the Green Expo Garden is facing a huge challenge, how to plant the winter? Reporter discovered yesterday in an interview, Green Expo Park have been a tree, bamboo and other deaths. In the face of limited funds, like those trees in a foreign land to all the winter is, indeed, a green Garden of management headache for the problem.
Some plants, trees withered
Green Expo Garden beautiful than before, and this is yesterday's news came to the scene of first impression. Down the door going into it, was originally a "flower river" by journalists to observe carefully, passing the million pots of potted plant, at least 1 / 3 have been dead, and the rest are dying. A small hand-pushed carts of the workers came, the car piled has withered plants, there are tea, pomegranate trees. The workers said the two days the park is on the dead plants were replaced, the less he alone must pull 89 times a day.
Green Expo Garden in the northeastern side of the main exhibition hall, a long row of bamboo cane, as dry as kneeling at the door, with no anger. Cao, Deputy Director said that due to the rush rush period, all-season planting bamboo, many bamboos transplant too late to quit before transplanting, pruning is also relatively simple, so the survival rate affected.
Bo Park's random walk in the green half-circle, to see a lot of branches of trees had dried up. In the service area behind the main exhibition hall, there obviously dead, more than ten laurel Trees. It is cleaner that the dead tree like other places there are in the Green Expo Garden.
Rare plant winter headache
Green Expo Park were planted 24,200 large trees, 150,000 shrubs, flowers, more than 40,000 strains of bamboo, over 600 kinds of trees. How to winter these plants? This reporter learned that the Green Expo Park features 42 gardens, 15% of the Green Garden of the South of rare plant species, growth temperature to 15 ? 20 only appropriate, Nanjing winter a serious threat to natural climatic conditions The growth of plants.
Green Expo Garden has now developed a program for the winter plants, two types of programs, namely conservation and alternative classification winter replanting. For the part of the strong cold hardiness of plants, such as cycads, Canada, date palm, etc., to set the wind barrier, wrapping materials, cold in situ conservation, which allows the plant to wear "coat." The weak cold hardiness, but the high cost of viewing and purchase of plants, then go directly to the greenhouse, such as Cyathea, Washington palm, Ficus, San Weikui, Phnom Penh, agave, plants such as Sedum. Cold weak, but a general view and purchase costs, or the zonal characteristics of clear, protective measures difficult to implement a one-time display of plants, under greenhouse capacity and protection costs, taking a general winter protection. To keep plants growing outside a south attractions landscape effect, plant in the winter need to burglary removed, will remain the framework of the original plant layout, with other plants with similar replacement. According to reports, for many rare plants, many garden experts also the first to see, so their conservation is quite nerve-racking.
Common plant life on the line
Some rare plants can be moved into the greenhouse, more common plants how to do? Cao, Deputy Director, explained that only some routine maintenance such as pruning, fertilization and so on. This reporter learned that initially identified the current Green Garden of winter maintenance costs of plants in the 500,000 yuan. In this regard, Nanjing Forestry University, Professor Tang Gengguo that Green Garden of the winter program developed by the Nanjing plant is basically feasible, but must protect the capital investment. As from Hainan, Shenzhen, Guizhou area of precious species, light moved into the greenhouse would cost a lot, Garden of 500,000 yuan on the winter green fee is clearly not enough. Given the limited winter fee with rare species of plants are not fully satisfied, and then park the greenhouse will be "loaded", then the majority of the plants had to be cold outside, can see good luck on surviving the.
Park Founder application maintenance costs
It is understood that, since October 16 after the closing of the Green Fair, Green Garden of Nanjing has been handed over to management. Yesterday reporters contacted the relevant person in charge of Nanjing Bureau of Parks, received the reply was that after the end of the Green Fair, has been transferred to the Hexi headquarters management, and Forestry and Park Service no longer intervene. Green Expo Garden of Cao Zhuren said, because just take over a year of light on the garden plants, grass and other maintenance is a huge cost, not stuck atop a thousand million. Currently, the cost of the operation of Green Garden of maintaining all the command from the Hexi Corridor, but they are actively to apply for green maintenance fees, if approved down, the pressure will be small.
