Gophers may be small, but that doesn't mean their damage is. Here's what one did to a 20 foot tall banana stalk.
This is the view from my "office". It's a tropical garden that provides a shady transition between the front patio and water gardens up front and the private gardens and orchards at the back of the house.

After two years of growth, the ice cream banana has finally produced fruit!
