Re: Truly What?!?!
A year later and the bananas don't look that different from the pics I posted. I'd update with new pics, but the camera isn't working. The SDC Truly Tiny is starting to pup. The mystery twins have pretty much stopped growing. I may need to repot. I never got a new half barrel, but I may have the big one because my Veinte Cohol failed in the last two weeks it was inside for the winter. I forgot to turn the heater on just one time and I couldn't stop my beautiful 5 ft plant turning to mush. I'm waiting to see if the corm will give me any pups before I do anything drastic.
I still see red on the center leaf spines of the mystery twins. (Editing to note that rereading this thread, the red went away by August last year so it might have something to do with adjusting to light?) No splotches on the leaves and no red on the pseudo stem. I swear I saw a banana like that the other day, but I don't see one in my browser history. It can't be a Rajapuri or Basjoo (the other types the Amazon seller carried) because of those red spines. At the same time, it's not any of the flavors of Truly Tiny out there. (If the red stays.)
Any ideas? Also, any thoughts on what I should replace my Veinte Cool with? I'm half thinking Dwarf Cavendish or Williams Hybrid, because the SDC pretty much said, "Oh, you left the heater off? I didn't notice." Same with the mystery twins. The Veinte Cool took it too personally.
