Nursery


The farm I am working for is expanding its banana acreage. Land has been cleared of trees and plowed. Drainage ditches have been dug and markers have been set to indicate plant placement. There is a nursery on the farm with little banana plants that are now ready to go into the ground.
These plants are the Galil 12 variety. The plants currently on the farm are Grand Naines and Williams.

These plants are loaded into crates and hauled to the field where they will be planted.

Here I am sitting amongst the beautiful banana plants.

  1. Maybe you can assist. I'm importing tissue culture bananas of the Grand Naine variety. What is the best way of preparing a nursery for about 10,000 plants?
