a coule of days since the beginning of this month.
Here is a photo of one of the bananas I ever harvested.
Asacomm, that's great! You are the only one I know of, now, that has been successful and I am happy to be wrong. But as you know that doesn't mean that I will be successful too. Because Shizuoka gets the warm south wind from the Pacific Ocean even in the winter. Here in Kameyama, where I live, at the foot of the Suzuka Mountain Range the climate is much colder than Shizuoka.
We have a lot of frost which is worst than snow. The day after I made the video of my grafted banana, we had a heavy frost that terrified me. I thought it was the end of my bananas. But I just checked on them and they look fine. I still have great hope of attaining success.
By the way, tell me what kind of edible banana produced fruit at your place?
It makes me very curious.
Por favor!
Obrigado.
