A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2005 Hello everyone

I'm new to the forum. I live just outside Atlanta, GA and love gardening. I found this site trying to find info on how to divide banana tree bulbs. Any suggestions?!?!?

We have three levels to the backyard and have named them all. Top: American Maple Valley, beautiful maples and Nellie R Stevens hollies along with plenty of annuals and asiatic lillies. Middle: Japanese Meadow, Crimson Queen, Bloodgood and all kinds of annuals. Bottom: Tropics, Banana trees, windmill palms, crepe myrtles, canna lillies, stonecrop sedum.

It's still a work in progress (after 10 yrs) but everytime we think we're through, one of us has a bright idea!!

I hope I'll learn a lot here.

Hi maygirl1949
Sorry I can't help you with your question about on how to divide banana tree bulbs. Maybe someone else will help.
Just wanted to welcome you to the forum.

thanks princessazlea. I was in England many years ago and fell in love with the gardens. I just could not understand how they were so beautiful considering the weather. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!!!!!! What do you like to grow?

Hi Maygirl I don't know anything about Banana trees either But I promise you someone here does I've been on short time ,and I've recieved so much help, I've almost completed a list and arrangment of two new flower beds the previous owners used only for white rock SHAME ON THEM. I've had help on shade bloomers, and what a list I have fortunatley living in the Dallas area enables me to get started now for the spring But some will have to wait untill spring,, needless to say some one WILL help you ! So many forums here I love it and the members are entirely friendly of course a few are rather onery but that makes it interestly FUN .. WELCOME MAYGIRL enjoy!

Hi marygirl
My favourite is Azaleas. I have 6 in my garden. I just love the colours they catch my eye. (gorgeous)

This is AMAZING!!!! You all have helped me so much these last few days and I'm just getting here!!! I got several tips on my trees and I'm redy to start. In a copule weeks, I should be digging up and preparing the corms for winter. THANKS AGAIN!!

princessazlea,

I love azaleas too. I have a porch that goes across the front of my house and on both sides of the walkway I have azaleas. Beautiful in spring!! Mine bloom late spring after all the others in the neighborhood are gone. I tried some of the hybrids like the "Encore" variety thats supposed to bloom of and on through fall but they are not very hardy.
