WE HAVE A WINNER!! Well my wife sprang some Sunday afternoon plans on me so I have no choice but to announce the winner this morning. I would like to thank all who entered the contest. Your a great bunch! Hehe, get it...bunch! Anyway, the final count is a whopping 159 fingers!!! That's the largest bunch I've ever grown in my garden. So the winner of this contest is..........................................Cedardave, and to make up for my morning mishap Bencelest will get a free pup too!

Congrats Cedardave and Benny! Please pm me with your shipping info.

Here it is as of this morning!

And here is your pup!
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m161/momoese/pkpup.jpg

In the spirit of giving for the holidays I'm going to give away a Pisang Klotek pup and pay to ship it UPS overnight in the USA. You pay nothing. Members outside the USA will have to pay for the shipping of their choice. As an added bonus I'll send the winner some fruit from my plant when they are almost ripe! You decide what shipping service you want to use and pay for the shipping. The fruit is free!

Here is the deal. I have another Pisang Klotek flowering. The first hand is visible today, 11-20-07 The last bunch never ripened due to a frost that killed all the leaves as the flower was emerging.

Now for the rules:

Try to guess how many fingers this bunch will have. One guess per member. The person who guesses the closest without going over wins. I will close the contest after the first male flowers appear on the bunch but I will give a few days notice for any late entries before closing the contest and announcing the final tally.

Jarred (Mediahound) has offered to edit the post as members make guesses.

Good luck to all and Happy Holidays, whatever it is you celebrate!! :bananas_b

This is how it looked the first week of November.

11-21-2007, 05:36 PM
No it's not me. Maybe Jarred? It's fine with me though. If the contest brings more growers, plants and knowledge to this site then it's all good!

Most of the time I am using a Mac with Safari web browser and it does not like the GW. Just takes forever to load the pages so I don't spend a lot of time there. I usually only visit that site when I have my PC laptop running.

I only count 82 bananas?

I honestly had 92 in there originally. I fooled around with it too much trying to get the formatting to look right! For some reason, they end up being left justified. I think a major upgrade to the forum is in order. lol

I got a PM from finn for #52 - while I asked finn to post to the thread, I will reserve finn's spot since finn is a new member and may not know how to post to the thread... please if you read this though finn reply to the thread so people can see your entry.
Should finn happen to win this and not reply to the thread, I will post a screenshot of the message...

I received a PM from member KingoTopanga asking for 71. I asked him to post in the thread but he never did. 71 has long been taken now so if he wants to enter he'll have to choose another number.

MediaHound
11-26-2007, 09:41 PM
what can you do...
Its' true though, all entries must be posted to the thread...
You did the right thing by not posting it, I should have not posted the one I did, now, looking back at it...
Future contests will strictly enforce all entries must be placed by the member, on the thread, and if they dont respond to a PM about a misplaced pseudo-entry, it'll be their misfortune!

I'm coming in by ground where my view is much more accurate than those folks viewing from above!

Actually, it will be fun to meet Mitchel for the first time and I'm running delivery service of a plant for another member who I'll be meeting for the second time and then off to another undisclosed location pick up the two Ae Ae I bought last month. I will then return next weekend to be crowned the Ae Ae King of Northern California (with three "in hand"). :D While Jordon is probably correct by thinking I'm nuts, I feel I'm up for the challenge!

Margie:camelnaner:

Visitor are always welcome to my very small banana garden! PM me for directions and contact info if your serious. If you really want to see something special and you have the time I would like to suggest you take a trip down south to Pitangadiego's place in San Diego and check out his jungle. It's really awesome and he will most likely have ripe fruits to sample!

I don't mean to be a troublemaker, but I'm confused. The rules stated, "The person who guesses the closest without going over wins." Since Cedardave guessed 157 & the winning number is 159, isn't he the winner? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I'm just confused & wondering what I missed or misunderstood.

It seems to be more cold tolerant then my reds, but that's not saying much. During the Arctic blast it lost all it's leaves just like all my other varieties so that doesn't help much either. It does seem to be more sensitive to dry conditions then my others. The leaves get brown all along the edges when it's really dry. It pups a lot like my Apples but doesn't grow quite as tall. I haven't tasted the fruit as of yet. My mother plant came from Sri Lanka. anyone know what the conditions are over there?
