Default Re: What varieties of Bananas do you Raise??

I have a small collection:

Musa basjoo (planted 2000)
Musa basjoo 'Sapporo' (planted 2001)
Musa basjoo 'Sakhalin' (planted 2002)
Musa sikkimensis
Musa sikkimensis 'Red Tiger'
Musa sp. Antalya (Dwarf Cavendish??)
Musa cheesmani
Musa yunnanensis
Musa nagensium 'Florale Noire'
Musa thomsonii
Musa sp. Helen's Hybrid (probably sikkimensis x Chini Champa, seed from Rarepalmseeds, one hardy fruit banana)
Dhusré
Dwarf Cavendish from Tenerife
Dwarf Orinoco
Musella lasiocarpa

The both sikkimensis have now puped , they both are now 6 feet tall and one year old. The three basjoos are outplanted and have survived the past winters outdoors with winterprotection.

My dream is to increase my collection, but no chance in the climate in Germany, so I plan to emigrate.

****, it is now raining strongly, so that I cannot take current photos of my bananas in my yard yet. I hope in the next weekend.

Happy banana growing
Joachim
