01-29-2017, 12:37 PM
My good friend, forum member Mark Dragt (Mark's Bananas Forest Paradise Greenhouse) ordered 2 new corms; an Ice Scream Blue Java corm and a Pisang Raja corm and gave me as a gift for babysitting his corms until the weather (temp) gets better in Rochester, WA, probably by spring time, a FHIA-17 corm. Thank you Mark for the FHIA-17 corm!....You will get a FHIA-17 pup for sure!....

The corms came courtesy of the very experienced forum member Nick Naranjas!...As you can see by the pictures, Nick sent us 3 beautiful, big, huge corms with roots!...Thank you Nick for your kindness!...

Then to the task, The FHIA-17 was trans-planted to the ground, using coarse sand, peat moss and perlite and a thin layer of organic soil on top!.....

Can you tell the age of the corns and when they may fruit?

Can you tell the age of the corns and when they may fruit?

The corms are probably 4-5 months old. If the center lives and continues to grow you probabaly have another 5-8 months of growing.

I got a FHIA 17 from Nick last October and it has been the fastest growing banana ever... Double the leaves of the others. The book says 18 months on 17, so maybe they slow down...
I recommend getting a Paggi from him while there still are some... Great tasting banana.

I have a Manzano Plant that is 4' plus and 4+ months old.
It is in a container right now and I want to plant it out doors after frost is not a threat.
Soil outside has clay and mica so it does not drain all that well. I am afraid of the plant becoming water logged and would like to build a planter base above the top of ground level. Will the plant put down roots strong enough to support the plant? Or do I have to stake it as it gets taller?

*****As I mentioned, an updated to the French Red Plantain!*****


French Red Plantain is doing great!....Growing very nicely!.....In the beginning it was kind of slow growing but once he got rooting, it started to grow fast!....French Red is about 7 ft. tall right now and growing!....Look at the red vivid colors of The French Red Plantain!....A very beautiful 'nana plant!......


As you can see, French Red is the very good neighbor of my other stellar performer, The Beautiful, Majestic Manini 'Ae Ae'!....I didn't know you guys like the beautiful and raw French Red Porn!.....LOL.....I mean The French Red Plantain!....
