  • Planting Plantain…Again

    After the failure of the last two plantain suckers, I am trying again with two more in a slightly different location.

They attack the leaves, not the fruit, but they are voracious eaters and reproducers.  We were away when they first arrived , so bad timing…. They look like a variation of Cantao ocellatus, but not positive. Sent…
