Geezzzzz it's been a while!
Figured I'd update the thread, I should post another intro after all that time...
Lets see... My questionable Red Dwarf that I bought at OSH that had too-small leaves for it's variety, has done really well in the ground. Survived the winter w/o problems, and the leaves are nice and wide now, like they are supposed to be. My best guess is there wasn't enough nutrients when it was potted. Looks like it was labeled correctly, after all.
My Becky/Dwarf Brazilian and (I think?) Raja Puri bananas from Momoese are doing really well, lots of new growth and leaves, non e are flowering yet. The little bitty Psang Klotek pup died over winther though
Maybe too cold or not enough light, IDK.
My Orinoco weeds are still growing like mad, I have six big bunches coming ripe at the same moment, more bananas than I know what to do with. Banana bread, Banana pies/cakes, banana pancakes, banana eclairs, banana pudding... And I'm gifting bananas to everyone who isn't sick of eating them yet.
I also bought an Ice Cream pup (per my mom's recommendation, after she tasted them on her Hawaii vacarion) and also got a couple pups that might be Manzana's. They came from a friend who doesn't know what they are. The mature plants are sort of a dwarf, max out at 10 ft, and their bananas are 3-4 inch long, rounded, fat, and delicious. Still have to find room to stick them in the ground somewhere.
I definitely caught the bug, and I hear it's contagious!
