Banana Plant Not Growing

13 years ago

HELP please.

I purchased a banana plant from a person who had it up for the winter. I planted it in April and it isn't growing or doing anything. Should I be concerned? How long does it take before you see the leaves starting to grown. I hope its not dead. Thanks for any help you can give. I am in NC

What zone are you in? Is it planted outside? What has the temperature been like? Is it in full sun or is it in shade? If it is green, it is likely fine and may just need some time to adjust and grow more roots before it starts growing leaves.
