I wont be bothering with siam ruby again its one of the poorest nanas for UK conditions,the problem i had with this nana is it does not like dry soil which makes overwintering it less than 14c impossible,i lost mine in february 2010 even thought it was a large nana.A banana that is only suitable for sub and tropical climates,it also hates cool summers.I also had a lot problem with Red Spider Mite on this nana.
