I created this thread for us to post pics in. I believe it will make the pictures more enjoyable and of course, easier to look at...
My garden to come soon, when there's actually some bananas high enough to take pics of. :D

will post mine plant if it ever germinate :) (I was able to afford just few seeds and not sure about their viability). But I already planned where I'll plant it in garden.

Considering the influence of Black Sea in your region, what minimal temperatures are there in your area? Most of the Ukraine was designated as Dfb zones in Koppens maps and the southern part mostly Dfa (my zones). However Sochi is a subtropical paradise down there, so I'm confused. It's just a sea walk from you. :D You state zones USDA 8 to 10. I haven't seen such a span, what shoul I imagne under that?

Jack, indeed Black Sea make our climate much milder than in most part of Ukraine, and as in other part of Crimea it create micro-climate which is specific to our only region. Unfortunately we live on flatland, and don't have any mountains, forests or even hills nearby. So when we got Northern winds our air temperature may drop significantly for short time but later return under influence of Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
It's shame but I've never heard of Koppens classification, is there any resource online to see these maps freely?
Also Sochi have unique placement which seems to grant it such almost tropical climate, in our country similar position have Yalta which have very mild winter.
Regarding my city it have hot summers upto 40 Celsius in shade sometimes and most winters are mild and I agree with average temperatures listed here: Kerch, Ukraine - Sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times for the whole year - Gaisma (http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/kerch.html) (you can check this link and compare to your own climate to see if it's colder or not).
But sometimes we get -10 C for week or more and year ago we got one of the coldest winter for 50 years I think, it was -29 Celsius and also for almost week(surprisingly we had a lot of snow so nothing was damaged in garden, only some cactuses died on my balcony).
But the worst thing is our winter are most of time snowless:P

Nice one Ante. I don't have so much coloring on my pups as you do, I have just scarse spots (8th leaf). Interesting. In the end maybe we have different types of Dwarf Cavendish. :D

Who knows.
I think it is because of stronest sun influence.

Maybe, I'm also suspecting the origin, the banana I got it from (our botanical garden) was not a TC, it comes from almost 70 years old generations bred in the greenhouses. Maybe it's a lil bit different. No TC all right. :D

Tomorrow, there's no light now, the picture would be blurry. OK? ;)
Btw. Ante, your Cavendish is closing to fruiting time, so the more leaves he will have, the better. Also, I would try a little bit larger container, you want lots of fruits, right... ;) :D

It is going to be repoted after I remove all pups for this seson. There are two more to come for now.

Maybe it will fruit before that. :D It just occured to me, because the mother plant that I got my Dwarf Cavendish from was fruiting at this height already.
Maybe because it was a in the greenhouse? But it had about 11 leaves and there were about 80 fruits on that, long about 13 to 15cm. Some idiot tried to steal it and run away, but they caught him. He took it long before it could have ripened. So it just went to composting. Idiot.
The next plant is to fruit in about 1 year there, because the people raided our Botanical garden and stole many pups (I got it in exchange for another banana). So there are only 2 pups left. About 60cm of pstem height. Headkeeper there wanted to keep the pups below the plants, so that people could see, but idiocracy rules here 100%.
Picture of the plant in our Botanical garden (we are talking about gardens, right :D )
In the lower left corner you can also see a developing pineapple under the shade of other plants:

Hi there, here a picture of a part of my garden. These Cavendishes (6) sprouted march 2009. Unfortunately the mother plant died in march, 2m tall, it could have fruited this year:( Though off course I am happy with these :goteam:

Nice one marenmar. Once again I see that the Cavendishes you have are nicely coloured as well as Ante's. :D Mine are not TCed, they were passed in the same manner as Kalabrian's very own bananas, and are about as old as my grandmother (70 years ago brought from India to our Botanical institute)... So here's some leaf pics to compare the spots (they are about the same age as those that Ante has, just have larger pot and grow faster :p ):

And some of the latter additions by my good friend Marcel: Musa 'Dwarf Brazilian'

and the last picture is Musa 'Raja Puri' (nicely recovering, it had no leaves when I got it..)

Tnx for the nice pics Jack, I think you'r lucky to have found one that is not TC. My plants (TC) have big spreaded spots, from mid to the edge od the leaves. Since there are outside the house day and night the leaves and stem as well are showing more red.When I have time to take some pict of the other nanners, I'll post more. Ciaooo

Thanks for your thanks ( :D ), but these are just small naners I have. Bigger and robuster will come soon. Some edibles too... Will post pics. But the view will be the best next year, some Super Dwarf could start fruiting and there might be some other growing to quite imposing heights.

I wonder, if it gets any more colorful. But I think not. Btw. it's not because of light or sun, because marenmar is just the same distance from Equator or maybe even more than me...
How do your children like bananas Ante? You know, when they see their father playing with so many plants. ;) Maybe a picture of your children below the large DC would be a great pic for family album...

Nope, no photo update, corms are still recovering. Making completely new roots, as if tehy are no longer using the old ones, which are probably dead, because they dried out on the way here.
Anyways, I have 2 specimens in baskets (or plastic buckets), which don't limit their root growth. Also, I can see, to some extent, what the heck is going on in there. Still, nothing, but new roots. Once in a while I cut the Pstem back by about 3cm, and it grows back precisely 3cm, that's how I know they live for sure. But nothing.
Soil temperatures are high in the buckets, as they are heated up by the sun from all directions.
I think it's just a matter of weeks until there is enough roots to start making pups (I think the original Pstem won't live on, but many new pups will emerge).
Haha, good surprises are allways welcome
:woohoonaner:
Yep, there's one person that knows, partly, what I'm about to get, but he will remain secret, right. :D Btw. today we had warmer climate, than you guys in Makarska. :D

But summer, actually, when the weather is above 25°C, I literally sleep outside, do everything outside. We even have a shower for pool outside, so I even shower outside, don't really bother to come inside. It's pretty empty there until late October :D ...

Difficult to breathe. You can feel the sun's power even through the clouds. :D
Btw. Ante, I'm not that white as it seemed, actually, if you remember gipsies, I'm now that color on my back and white-brown in the front. Was doing some yard work yesterday and kinda missed the 30°C. :D Nu burn damage, tonight will be a pleasureful one, the temps shouldn't fall below 20°C until 400 CET and even then to 18°C for a while. TOmorrow rain and then we are going to swim. Water temperature was about 26°C the last time I checked. Fortunatelly, there are 16 lakes in my vicinity, so I can choose the warmest one. :D

Hi Ante, firstly congrats to new plants and secondly, it can be done, but I fear that not without phyto from USA to EU, or maybe yes, but in my case, it wil be standing a week for observation in our phytoinstitute. Nice plants you have there. :D
I just can't help it but like the Darjeeling Giant looking so small compared to to the Musa 'Apple' (or Manzano in your pic). :D
Anyways, it's getting full of plants in the Europe I see. I have some plants, YAKUZA has some, Kalabrian has some, you have some and the best part is, that we all have different cultivars. ;) That's good for trade :D
Also, Ante, I will make ready one or two pups from both basjoos if you're interested, they will like my climate very much, so the growth will be good. Also, they should be growing without any protection in Makarska, so you will have problems with too many of them someday. :D

:woohoonaner:
The first has a red stem, which seems very good to the eye and the second one is hardier than the Japanese version, because it comes from Sachalin, Russian island some hundred kilometers from the Japan to the North.
I am now researching a method that I heard about lately, it concerns speed propagation of bananas, but it requires time for the first batch, than it's fast. I have to choose the best cultivars first, so i might try this with Pahari Kela this winter and others later on. I find it very unlikely, that one of my eight Grand Nains won't have any pups this year, so there it goes, if interested. I will probably have to make one or two for YAKUZA as well. :D Jupiii, I really like experimenting. I wonder, if TCing can be skipped in such a small scale.

Hello there boys. Question on Ante. I've got several dozens, maybe a hundred this year germinated palms. Some of them are not quite into my area, so I thought that in the late summer I could pack a few pieces to the bananas I will be sending to the croatia. Now the question is, would you like any of these:
- Nannorrhops richiana 'Green'
- Nannorrhops richiana 'Silver'
- Washingtonia robusta
- Phoenix dactylifera (I've got 2 now, so one could go to you..., the other will be my winter home and otherwise outdoor palm. Will maybe try overwintering outside with protection later).
and several trachys...

OK guys, here's some Pahari Kela update. After 3 or more weeks of sitting ducks, the Hill banana finally did it. It started to grow above the soil level on one pup.
For comparison, pictures from 2 days ago and now.

Pahari Kela today, when the heat waves came, I had to water really well, so it might be the reason, why it responded with a new growth (moved to the soil, I removed the outter leaf remains from the old rotting leaf)

Wow, terrible, we never had earthquake stronger than 5 Richter, and even that one we got with the 20 year long step among them. :D
So you are okay, kids and wife, all ok? Hope it is. Could have ended badly, your region doesn't have many antiearthquake buildings, does it?
I don't know what the hell is going on with this climate, but I suspect that someone's working with technology beyond anything we can imagine. I read just yesterday, that Russian military succesfully tried heat sink.
Ante, do you remember from the school what heat sink is? Theoretically, you take heat (or energy) from one place and you put it simewhere else (for example take the heat of your riviera and put it on a glacier in Antarctica).
They semed to have developed such a technology, I watched a short video of a scientist in a conference in Prague about 4 month ago and he (Czech) claimed to have seen such an experiment.

Right and wrong. Nikola Tesla (I know how proud your fellow countryman are to say that he was Croatian) worked on something called Wireless energy transfer, which is also a technology being developed. I saw a short distance energy transfer on a computer conference about a week ago.
But the heat sink doesn't need to process energy into a particular form. It takes heat - the heat arrives, it takes electricity - electricity arrives, it's not an energy channel, it's matter-energy based. Pretty lovely in fact.
I love technologies.
How come that you don't have buildings against earthquakes, when you are the zone? :D

Yet Russians forget about this quotation.
I must admit that it goes down the hill with Serbia. :D I have many classmates from Serbia (because the Serbia was repopulated by Slovaks and Hungarian after the Turkish and Osman invasion to Europe), but they are way behind Tesla. :D Well, he was classy.
I like the mediterranean architecture, smaller buildings, large gardens, that's how it should be. If I showed you the view on one part of Bratislava (its close to the term 'slum'), you wouldn't stop vomitting for hours. Terrible. EU standards. To hell with them, there's no grass in my city, 200 year old trees were cut after the winter to "fortify the Danube", but some people corrupted the city council and so now instead of trees we will have luxorious appartments on the Danube. :D

Yes, but you know how it ended up, when everybody earned the same amount of money, when the domestic agriculture and industry was important...
It's all gone now. We have traded (not me, but 98% of people) one strongly enforced way for another. Except now not the Strana, but money rulez. That's no change at all.
At least we have had an opportunity to start differently. ;)
What the capital brought us is laziness of the paople, stealing, murders, robberies, corruption, deffective police...
There's no way to corrupt, if you can't give anything away, there's no way of stealing, when you haveprecisely what the other one has...

No, unfotunatelly I was always taught to see the world for what it is. If you don't see the problem (this was meant for my self correction), than you can't see the solution. I'm not pissed with the life, I just don't like its parameters nowadays. I don't say that it was better in the past, but I can imagine that it wasn't so bound for certain goals.
Some time ago you said to me, that it is your mediterranean nature to solve thinks somehow. It is my nature (and generally all those peoples, that live in a cold regions) that we are active, sometimes too active. Just compare your life with the life in central regions, compare your life with coastal Italians, Greeks, there are many similarities.
I think it is important and this trait is seen everywhere in the cold countries cultures, that people work and work and work and work. And they work even before they are tired so much, that they can't go anymore. Thinking is just another level of working and calculating future is one of the most enriching activities for me. Of course that it brings bad emotions, but that's part of it.
You know, people that I observe are quite annoyed by this watching of mine, but I know many people so deeply, that I can speak aloud with them and we both tell the same things. :D

I know this is off topic, but I sent some naners to Kalabrian today (Grand Naners to be precise :D) as a part of the trade for his lovely plant (next in line for trade are Ante, YAKUZA... and the list goes on and on... so that no questions arise :D ), so we will see some pics real soon, at least hopefully.
I used 2 special casings, which were the remains of a plant shipment I once got about 3 years ago. Ever since they proved to be very useful, when I had to take some plant with me somewhere and it travelled in the suitcase (guess what I was doin' :D :D ). It's not easy to obtain them and one must be very careful with them, but I thought what the heck and packed everything up so, that the plants should get to Kalabrian without any scratch (without any new scratch that is, they were slightly sunburnt and also one or 2 leaves broken from previous shipment, but you know what I mean).
I wonder, whether they arrive in perfect conditions or the casings simply crush so many times, that they do some damage to the plant. I'm already working on a way, how to make the plants suffer the least yet prolong the shipping survival rates.
Kalabrian, it's up to you to post the pics. ;)

It depends, if zou want to store them in temperatures lower and equalt to 10°C, no lght is needed, for temps of 15 to 20°C, some soil and light is needed. If you want to keep them dormant, then they won't need any light. Just be careful in teh spring then, not to burn the leaves. I would take your Siam Ruby in a pot inside. :D

I woun't be very revealing and show my bananas which I have shown before.
2 of my 3 basjoo - this higher one (in the distance) has only 2 leavs becouse it was kept inside and when I moved it out, the Sun burnt all leves.

I have been very disappointed with July, Alan.Your nanas are still looking great though.
Not quite sure if this is what was intended, but my garden IS a garden. It is intended for
production, not appearance. Anyway, here goes.
My 3 Manzanos are the fastest growers. Largest has 2 pups.

Young Saba, my 2nd fastest grower. 2 pups.

Williams with 4 pups. 2 will be cut to keep them from slowing it down.
<a href=http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=44621><img src=http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=44621&size=1 border=0></a>
The pups. I'll keep the outer two.

and sun damage.

Double Mahoi with 2 pups. My slowest grower. May need to cut
the Cassava to give more light.

Just wanted to post this picture of two sikkimensis bananas and a moso bamboo to the right. As you can see the banana to the left is much more red than the other, but they come from two different seeds which probably explains it.
These bananas are the one who have grown by far the fastest and the center one has already produced 2 pups. The bamboo has also been growing incredibly fast dispite the cooler weather and has reached 1m (planted it out when it was about 20cm).

Actually I kept them indoor, spread all over the house :) I had to shorten the leaves because these which grew indoor were not very wind resistant, as you know.
I have just realised I did it not the last weekend but the one before so these photos are from the last weekend of April.

Hi Guys, I only have a small city garden so I don’t have many varieties of bananas in there… most of my collection I have on my allotment in a polytunnel.
Here are some pics of my garden!
E.ventricosum “Hiniba”

Maybe small but beautiful and very well composed.
Very nice collection of exotics. Your fatsia japonica is really huge. My fatsia suffering during winters too much and year by year is almost the same size (or smaller ;)).
this are couple of my bananas, this season.:

Ante, I wish I could over winter my nanas in the garden like that… it would be so cool!!
We in the UK have just had the coldest spring (March/April) in 50 years with cold winds coming from the northeast and my garden looks very bare at the moment, that’s all set to change at the weekend though because the wind is going to change direction and come from the south.:woohoonaner:

Very nice Ante,well done! :) How come you have so much green already? All those leafs survived the winter unprotected? You must have had quite a great winter!Frost got mine in Pyrgos this winter too unfortunately,in February...I Melissia,i got snow for a few days,like usual,just less duration with not too low minimums.
How many leafs did you get from each banana till now? In Melissia,i only got 1 from my Ice Cream and my potted plantlets are working on their first acclimated one while in Pyrgos,i can see from the cameras i have 2 or more leafs on each of my potted bananas but i cant see how many on my in ground ones.
