        Very cool !

        I grew a banana plant many moons ago, from seed. A very clumsy friend came to visit. Next day my 3" banana plant was snapped .

            I have a patch in my border where nothing grows because the dog sleeps there, squashing anything I plant....

            Loving the banana flower - very exciting!

              It is but the sad thing might be that Bananas die after they fruit so you may have to buy yourself a new one

                  I don't think the whole plant dies, the stem that bears fruit dies - not that I have a banana plant but I read that each "pseudo stem" needs to be cut to ground after fruiting and more stems should sprout.

                    The banana plant grows to a height of about six feet or more. After the green fruit has been harvested the main stem is cut down to the ground and one of the several basal suckers is saved as the following season's new plant.
