The one thing to remember about palms is that a lot of them come from swampy areas - you can actually leave the bottom half of the roots submerged in water - Windmill Palms seem to do good with just regular watering - I would not leave them in water unless you start to notice that they a dying. (It has been several years since I have had a windmill palm and my knowledge has increased greatly since then.) The best thing to do is google a lot and find out where the palm comes from.

We have had good success with the Red Bananas that we sell in both containers and in the ground. My sister grew them in containers in Tracy and had them grow to around 6 feet with very sturdy stems. The leaves get a bit wind whipped, but other than thay they looked great. I talked to my dad Jeff at the Tracy store and he said he has ordered Windmill Palms from Monrovia for this year. Thank you for your info, we will look into getting them in stock as well. Hi Chuck. We have had good success with the Red Bananas that we sell in both containers and in the ground.

In 2005, my first year using bananas (my first and only successful year), I was able to get Musa Basjoo bananas to grow to six feet from 1 foot plants. I am using mostly palm trees and shrub palms for the tropical effect, but have not been able to figure out bananas!!! So are you guys ever going to get any palm trees in? At the Drummer's Garden Center in Mankato they had 8 foot Queen Palms last year for $40 (Grown by Monrovia) - I bought one and still have it and it grew really good this winter. I mostly use $10 palms from big box stores and nurseries are usually unable to compete with that price. - I have a hobby website to show people how to use palms as landscape plants: http://www.chuckzamzow.com/ Regards, Chuck Zamzow I noticed that in your photos for the Tracy location that you have some pretty large Red Bananas in one of the photos – I also noticed that the Bananas that you had at the Tracy location today were tall, but the stem looked weaker then the Red Bananas that I bought in Mankato last year.
