None at all, I know this because I'm the country's foremost authority on how to lose them.

My Musa Cavendishiis have barely grown this year, I planted them out in May and all 3 look pretty much the same now as they did back then. I'm leaving them in the ground to rest in peace this winter so I've got more space for some more suitable bananas for the UK.

I have tried for the last 3 years to try to get one to fruiting size by bring it into the house for winter but everytime the main trunk dies back leaving the pups, this year it stays out untill the frost gets it then it goes in the compost heap

I don't understand why it would die Gary. It should be fine indoors. Any ideas yourself?

no idea Simon but it has happened for the last 2 winters, it has been kept in the lounge in front of south facing french doors and both times the main trunk had died back, just cant be bothered any more with it
