Default Banana plants

[QUOTE=GrowingCoastal;714074]"The neighbor's banana plants...."
And here I was, admiring the lovely tropical look they give to your photo. Do they produce bananas? Do hummingbirds like their flowers?
Invading the Tomato bed???

They are pretty to look at, I agree. I have seen them send up stalks but the bananas are quite small. I have never seen any hummingbirds on the blooms. They are spreading and sent up shoots underneath the fence that divides are two yards and now we have the plants growing in the tomato bed. They have to be cut down and the roots dug up as much as possible. I'm sure some of the Florida gardeners in this thread have banana plants that produce better.
