I had a member hook me up Last summer on a crabbing trip south of me. I may have other types too, but not sure. So those of you interested in the Lower 48 I should have 4 ready to ship come the end of the month. Some members know my terms for the most part.. I like to cover my shipping cost. This is April 3rd so no April fools. :^)

I always wonder how those cold hardy varieties would do in zone 14.

:2759: My Caligold has dark spots down the new developing leaves is this a normal characteristic? Or did I get duped? :2759:

What type of fertilizer you applying if any?
Is this a newly planted banana plant?
You live in a damp state, how much watering you doing per week?

It is just the color of the leaves it isn't diseased.

Those are the same black spots I had and was told to cut leaf off. The black spots grew in size and ate through the leaf. now that leaves have been cut a week or so and sprayed with fungicide,,all seems to be fine,,,,,,I hope.

DO has more red tinges where as CG is Green. CG's are more stout, fat like a Raja Puri on potash crack.. :^)

Hello Michael

I want to show you an up date picture of the two banana babies I got from you.

The weather is cooling down and I brought them inside. Are they easy to keep indoors in the living room during the winter? Or is it better to move them to a cooler room?

Most of us who have grown them both in southern CA believe the answer is yes.

Even though they have the same fruit, same fruit as an Orinoco, I would highly doubt that. This is a Dwarf Orinoco w/ 6' p-stem isn't anywhere close to fruiting.

Here is a CaliGold w/ 6.5' p-stem fruited 115 fingers.

Maesy I think your plants look great just watch how close you place them to a window, and check temps (floor level next to window) versus room temp, and watch how much you water. :^)

This the answer you get from people that don't get much in the way of cold weather. I guess when you have to cut 3ft of p-stem off a DO after winter and I don't have to cut any off a CG and my CG's are more exposed that doesn't make much sense.. I can say my Dwarf Orinoco has seen its last season in my yard. A CG or Orinoco is so much better to grow than a DO. I think the DO has the cold tolerance of a Cavendish.. Here is my same DO from this time last year.. I think a Red Iholena would do much better in this spot.

Its the most disappointing variety I have.. to say the least..

My dwarf OR fruited at 6 ft and still has fruit hanging. It did perfectly fine with a unseasonably bad winter here last year with like 30's a few times for the overnight lows.

CG might be a mutant of DO,sure looks the same from pics on the board/net.

Color is wrong.. Do has more pink.. and gets red in the stem like the red tinges in a big Namwah trunk. Caligold is straight up green. I think DO would do well if it doesn't have to endure a freeze, but if it does forget it..
When you going to post a pic of your Dwarf Orinoco? How many hands does it have? :^)

Looks like a short Orinoco minus those stubby wide leaves.. I should've taken pictures last time I went to the coast.:^)
