Wow! I literally was about to suggest "Why don't you get two and flank the driveway?" (Edit: Or something like that.) They are so majestic!

Wahoo!! Two is better than one! Banana plant needs a name. 😊 I love that you’re doing this experiment still. Fun to watch!

The banana deserves a name i always name my favorite plants.😍😍😍

[@ginnysulya9805]

Yes, I think I will be buying a banana tree for my husband for Father’s Day! He grew up as an Airforce kid in Panama and it would be such a surprise! Thanks Erin! Looking forward to watching them grow! 🍌🐒😍

Team Banana!

[@LitlPoot]

love the bananas !!! those big ole leaves gently waving in the breeze - very peaceful and soothing. At our former home, my banana was right outside our bathroom window and I loved it !! Here in N. Atlanta (Georgia) I have the musa basjoo and am lucky to be able to leave it in the ground over winter. I just cut it back to the ground and mulch it up really good. The "mother" plant dies but sends up new pups each year, so if you start out with one you'll (eventually) end up with 10 or 15 or 20 !!!! I love your red banana and just may give it a try this year. Thanks for sharing all your tips & tricks, encouragement and inspiration !!!!

[@Suburbanoasis]

Loved the grin on your face when you said banana time!!

[@EveBrandy]

I'd stay no matter what, it's the BANANA for cripes sake!😄 I've been invested from the start of this adventure. TWO? Can't wait.

[@JanetHouck-h5h]

Bananas forever ! T-shirts. Yes. Indeed.

[@victoriafren4832]

Thank you for putting all the effort in to growing this banana, it is so interesting and entertaining:) I am a true fan of the banana!!!So happy too that it now has a buddy!

[@kimirvine6310]

Omg Erin , wow can’t wait to see how this goes , love your videos .

[@jameswesnga7709]

In general I am not a banana fan. But I am surely a fan of this banana! This banana plant has got through so much. I have watched this banana since you got it. It is always a joy to see it coming out of its storage! Yay!!!

Yeah so happy to see it again. And now a matching friend!!!❤🍌🌴

Ok, year three this banana needs a name!!! I feel like it’s almost disrespectful to just call it “the banana tree” 😆 🍌we are WAY closer than that-we should be on a 1st name basis after this long! 🍌🤣😜 especially now that it’s has a “friend”! 🍌🍌

[@richbishop7896]

I praise you for all the effort you put in to growing this banana plant! Bonny

[@shaunabattle2371]

She's backkkkkkk!!!!! You inspired me to purchase a banana plant last spring. By the end of the summer, she had grown through the half barrel wooden container. Completely destroyed the pot. So, I put her in the ground for the winter and she is already growing. Zone 7.

[@BobbieJeanM]

Amazing and encouraging! I am in zone 7 near the east coast so I never thought it might winter over here. And I wouldn’t be able to lift it to take it inside for the winter. Maybe now I will try planting one on the southeast side of my house which is protected from wind and the blazing afternoon sun! Hopefully I can find one around here.

[@shaunabattle2371]

I got it at Lowe's!!!!

[@donnanolan8913]

I always cut my banana to just above the bulb and store it upside down wrapped in a towel so moisture drains away from bulb. They are amazing plants!

[@kasiacholewinska]

Erin, you’ve got to give this Maurelli’s proper names! They have a community of supporters now, big time! Can’t wait to see them in their final locations 😎

[@kkeenan536]

You go Erin! That plant is amazing ! Your hard work and dedication to it pays off in another year! I chuckled at the end of your video… the obsession grows👍🏻❤️😊

[@ericstrong54]

Well thank god-been wondering about the banana. After seeing your first banan video, I by chance stumbled across a new shipment at a local big box store and bought 4. I am in zone 9b so just have to make minor winter provisions compared to your efforts. Look forward to upcoming banana videos-truly a star!

[@altheab.8907]

Definitely a banana fan, Erin. And now there are two? Going to need more space in furnace room next winter. I just love that banana….and your no nonsense approach. Perhaps more tropicals in the future? 🌴😎🌺

[@vincegpking1]

I'm so glad I found your videos. I just planted 2 of these and am already panicking how to over winter it. Lol I just watched your video where you took it out of the pot at the end of the year, and then this one. It has relieved so much stress and concern I had. Thank yku for such great content.

[@deborahpellerito6117]

[@copycat3553]

I love watching banana tree videos. Mine is one year older then yours. He lives in a pot so I just bring him in ever winter. I would love more but i would definitely have to use your method for the others. TFS Cheers.

[@sandistolle4874]

Yay! Bring out the banana. Now with a friend, it’ll be a banana-Rama. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself). 😀🍌

[@angelaholinka3248]

I watch some Vietnamese ladies garden, building their home, sell produce, small game farming, etc. on KZbin. Their banana trees are VERY prolific and grow just about anywhere. I think about the only thing that would kill them is the cold winters we have. To bad your growing season isn't like theirs and you could get bananas. Enjoy as much as you can!

[@latoyaferguson3566]

Wow !! Way less this year!!! Last years cut we crazy!! This is way easier. I’m getting one this year if I can find one.

[@darlenehiner8719]

I for one would like to see it coming out of the house. Anyone else?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 🌱 I didn’t think my Musa Basjoo banana was going to come back. It’s my first time growing banana plants. Not only did both come back, in ground, but there are 3 sprouts 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I had a dwarf one in my garage and it’s been out for weeks and hasn’t sprouted i believe mice ate the roots 😭 I did manage to save one out of 3 pups🙌🏻

I got one last year and planted it in the ground. It did okay but didn’t get huge. Last fall I dug it up, cut it way back and put it in a small pot in an unheated garage. This spring I potted it up properly and it is already going strong. I suspect the pot will not be big enough.
