My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Red banana cut back

17 years ago

Do you have to cut the banana plant to 2-3 feet? I cut mine to 5 feet and no new leaves are growing. It been 68-75 in zone 9 for the last couple weeks. Should I cut them lower?
