Re: proud parent Ventricosum
OK update out of 20 seeds 5 have grown. wow i cant believe how fast they grow 4 of them are now about 7 days old and there fast approaching 4" tall there just putting on there first and some their second leafs one is showing some red on the tip already I'm told thats vary unusual at such an early age maybe we have a murellii sport? its to early to tell the one with the red is also out pacing the rest as time gos by it just looks thicker taller and generally more robust then the rest
all say this buy all the Bananas you want and Tc them but you will never get the quality of a plant that you grow your self they just do better and grow faster all bet the one with the red is 4ft tall by September if all goes according to plan Scot is bring me a bunch of Banana seeds in July and I'm going to start them some are pretty rare so we mite have some stuff to trade this coming spring you never know the first seed that germinated is now 6" tall and defiantly growing like a weed seems happy no red on it in the slightest but then again even thou i got thees seed from Park seed you can never be sure if they are what they say they are its defiantly a Banana as for it being a ventricosum will see it could be an odd seed that got mixed in the bin so to speak or it could just be a sport of some sort
thanks dear readers for indulging my ramblings
