You could make banana leaf sleeping bags out of those leaves!

Four years in ground, don't fertilize besides dumping buckets of water on them that contains dirty pond water after I clean out the filters for the waterfalls.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Wow too cool! I think they like where they are! How are the fruit progressing?
Looks like the wind has been kind to them, you probably have two more good months of growing, right? Wonder what they'll top out at? Mine hit 14' (leaf tip, not pstem) on about their third year. Then I moved them, then we got nailed with 2 of the hottest summers in memory.

These ara close to that now I think. Fruit is doing great. We will get a frost about mid November probably and then a freeze shortly thereafter.
