Richard,




Wooohooo!.....You welcome buddy!....I'm glad that you received the SH-3640 pup in excellent condition!.....Hopefully it grows very good for you!....You see the size of the SH-3640 High Noon pup that you received, that is how the SH-3640 it grows!......BIG!........

I really wonder if the first member that got the SH-3640 from the beginning, received a True To Type/Real SH-3640 High Noon Nana, an off-type clone or a different Nana Variety!....SH-3640 High Noon grows robust, strong!....One of my best growers!....A monster grower!....


Now just "grow it like you stole it!".......LOL!.....a patented phrase from Mike (cincinnana)!.....

Transplanted out of the drainless 5-gallon pot into a 15-gallon pot. The wall behind the pot faces ESE so the plants there receive about 2/3 the morning sun. By spring it should be ready to transplant into the ground.

Woohooo! Good to know we are all clear here in Texas! We can safely remove the hardhats now! A corm that large flying over was scary but we made it!

No joke Richard this is one of my favorite growers and top 5 in taste! You deserve it!

And WOW Hector! Your pictures look so amazing. You must have a new camera! I love it bro! Keep those detailed pictures coming!

what did you use to pot it with?

what did you use to pot it with?

It's a custom soil mix of 40% horticulture sand, 40% triple-shredded redwood bark, 20% cured compost. On top of the soil is about 1.5 inches of 1/4" orchid bark to slow evaporation in our dry climate.

Yes, I bought it 15 yards at a time when planting fruit trees and stored the leftover few yards in 33 gallon barrels.

Any reason why there has been no growth Richard. I would have thought it would have put out a few leaves by now.

About a month of shock recovery followed by overnight temperatures approaching 50°F. :coldbanana:

Awesome job Richard! I can’t wait to see it grow for you! Do you use a fertilizer injector? I’m shopping for one right now. I would gladly accept any advice or recommendations! You are the expert! Feel free to PM or email me anytime!

I just dug this SH3640 pup a couple days ago! They are very strong/sturdy plants!

fertilizer injector?

Here's my Dosatron DR8 (https://www.dosatronusa.com/d8re2/) that draws from a 50 gallon concentrate tank for all my fruit trees and bananas. I'd recommend 200 gallon concentrate tank for your operation.

7:30pm and the temperature is already down to 41°F. As precaution we brought our Cambucas and the young SH-3640 indoors. I then topped the banana to insure it wasn't rotting under the shriveled winter leaves.
