Hi

Just a thread showing my banana plants and growth rates. I planted my first ones in October starting with 3 plants, having no idea what I was doing or what I was in for. I now have 7 plants, 4 different varieties and 3 pups off the 2 larger ones.

02/oct/2012 - 3 lady fingers planted, I didn't know they needed to be a certain size nor did the person I got them off. The little one although was tiny and only had a small piece of corm still grew.

15/jan/2013 - The largest pup only surfaced 2 weeks before this shot, might be a water sucker but its growing fast.

Nice. Everythings looking good and healthy. Are ice creams in Australia really ice cream or are they tall namwah?

thanks. I think they are real but I wont know till it flowers I'll post up some pics when that happens. There is one plant behind these that is not growing to well still trying to sort that out but the rest are doing amazingly well.
