Yes, it's true: you can grow bananas in Chattanooga! A recent contributor to the Chattanooga Times Free Press website offered up her tips for growing ornamental banana trees in a Chattanooga garden. Among the benefits of this type of leafy plant is that you don't need fertilizer; just water and sunlight. These trees also grows extremely fast. In fact one banana tree plant that starts out 15 inches high could grow as full as 15 feet high with a little TLC. These types of banana trees are also resistant to pests which mean you don't have to worry about spraying them with pesticides. When new leaves form the old ones will die sometimes even overnight. It's best to remove the old leaves to make way for the new sprouts. When the winter comes you don't have to dig up the plant. You could cut the tree down to its base and spread mulch around the exposed trunk. By the time spring rolls around you'll have a new batch of flourishing banana tree leaves. While growing a banana tree in your backyard might make you the talk of your Chattanooga neighborhood you're not limited to that type of exotic plant. There are plenty of good reasons to grow all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables especially when you consider the costs of organic produce.
