large banana trees


Question
My back yard is over grown with banana trees.   I have cut them down just to see little ones growing.   How can I get rid of the banana trees, once and for all?

Answer
Hi Carol, Bananas are surviviors and unless you kill the underground "Corm", it will continue to send out pups; either digging up the Corm or saturating it with a drench is the only way to ensure they won't return. If you pour a total vegetation drench on the Corm, be careful that no other beneficial root systems come in contact with it, or they will die also. Nick
