Just got a Siam Ruby and a Thai black in the mail.

Have a thread here for the unknowns: http://www.bananas.org/f12/two-unknowns-12426.html


Cant wait to get everything in my backyard. I just need to figure out how to keep my dog from eating everything. He has developed a taste for bananas and bamboo at my parent's house. :ha:

I'm glad you posted this, because some people believe that Siam Ruby is not the real deal when they first get it just because the midrib is green, but I've told several people to wait and see how it darkens up as it gets bigger.
Great job, and they look like they're in top form! :)

Hey, Tristan...I've never noticed you on here before. I'm right down the road from you in Pearland. How long have you been growing bananas?

I'm new to bananas. I just pulled divisions from my parent's plants and ordered a few others. My parents have always had some in their yard, but only a few varieties. I've been in my new house for less than a year, so I'm now planning on how I will landscape the back yard. It's essentially a blank slate.

We are very close to each other...probably within 10 mintues. I sent you a PM. I'm a horticulturist so let me know if you need any plant advice/suggestions. I do consulting work on the side.

Tristan you have caught the banana bug I can diagnose you from here, lol.

Great to see your collection taking shape, thanks for posting.

btw, what type of banana plant eating dog is this you speak of?

I have the bamboo bug and now bananas... I wonder what is next.

My banana eating dog is a German Shorthaired Pointer named Luke.
