If they were to take you away, and said "You can ONLEY take five banana plants with you" What kind of banana plants would you take? And why (if you want) It just makes the thread better.



Well I onley have 2 banana plants right now but I would take Ice Crean 'blue java' for eating, Musa basjoo for having a hardy banana, Siam ruby for its looks, Truley tiney, Dwarf Cavendish.

FUN question!!

Manzano x 2, Dwarf Namwah, Hua Moa or Popoulu, Gros Michel
Manzano - because, from an experienced banana grower(and eater) I trust, says they are the yummiest! :)
Dwarf Namwah - The quick growth on these are amazing & I wouldn't have to wait long :)
Hua Moa/Popoulu - Because of the taste & sheer size of the bananas :)
Gros Michel - forearm sized bananas that taste great...any questions?? :D ~Cheryl

Well, who are "they," and where would they be taking me? If they are taking me away to Hawaii, I probably won't take anything with me! Probably wouldn't take any with me if going to Barrow, AK either, LOL.

The main Idea is what are your five favorite banana kinds (or how many you would take of each kind like for example 4 siam ruby and 1 musa basjoo), and Why you like them.

The If they they were take you away thing is for drama. lol

I am picking five because I can propagate them.
Manzano
Dwarf Namwah
Dwarf Red
Mahoi
Kru

"They" better have plenty of compost and some high potassium fertilizer when I get there.
"They" better also have some sapodilla's, pineapples, carambolas, sapotes, peaches, Gunabanas, Dragon fruits, and a good guitar or I'm coming back.

I'm too inexperienced yet with bananas to pick a favorite five, but the first five that I purchased were:

Raja Puri
Ice Cream
Dwarf Red
Misi Luki
Grand Nain

but then I bought a whole bunch more!:ha:

Right now, if I could only have five:

AeAe
AeAe
AeAe
AeAe
AeAe

:woohoonaner:

Capthof, do those five that you listed propagate easily from pups, or are you referring to tissue culture? Thanks.

The five I mentioned all propagate with pups.
If I only had one banana it would be manzano!

I would have a fuss and want to take for then 5. But if i could takke only 5 my choice would be:


dwarf Namwah,
Dwarf cavendish,
Ice cream ,
Kru,
Dwarf orinoco

dwarf Namwah because I have seen it can givev you a lot of fruit.(pics)
Dwarf cavendish because it wont take long to get fruit. nice sized plant.
Ice cream/blue java because it would taste amazing ~!!
Kru for the beautiful colors if the fruit and p-stem.
And last but not least. Orinoco its a Fav of mine or perhaps dwarf one.

ice cream, just because I've had her so long, we're an item!
aeae, I couldn't leave anything behind that I paid so much for...lol
Mini, because she'd be easy to carry
my variegated margarita, I can't wait to see what she looks like next year, and she has a couple pups
and a bordelon, because with one of those before long I'd have 500 bananas again!

I'd definitely want to know where ''they'' were taking me, but without knowing, here goes:

Maqueño Type 2 (large, fusarium wilt resistant Gros Michels)
Chunchi Huasi (sweet plantains)
Rosaditos (tiny red bananas)
Oritos or Oro Chico (Sucrier group)
Limon (Red Iholene)

I'm thinking that if they were to take me away it would be because I was trying to grow bananas in Minnesota and they would not let me take any with me OH NO!!!!!:waving:
