Re: Time to put the bananas outside for spring!
Amazing! It does seems a good sized bunch too! Why don't you grow them anymore? Are they so bad? I have read good things about tall orinoco, apparently.
I have a D.O. too, which i hope to bloom soon, it is 4 feet tall. Started it as small plant in may 2012. Takes some time!!! This year I potted it in august, and it was able to overwinter keeping 3 leaves, so i'm hoping for a quick start once the temperature rise.
I have choosen this cultivar because, aside from hardiness, i hope to be able to eat even the undeveloped fruit, if they fill enough. It is a good characteristic, in places with a short growing season. Too bad they take forever to ripe.
Why did you regret the use of the clay pot?
