Agree with Sean.
I agree with Seans comments.
I have visited various Musa related sites / noticeboards but I feel very much at home with this one. Nice to meet you all. I will stay on board. One problem I find is that navigation is a bit involved. Anyway. avid Banana grower in UK. Got loads of plants (26 in all about 18 varieties). Fighting against English weather - high winds my biggest problem. Name is Sidney Parker. Best wishes to all.  |

Re: Agree with Sean.
Ask JoeReal if he has a suggestion for that. He's the resident grafting expert.

Re: Agree with Sean.
I couldn't seem to grow peaches even here in GA. Plant grew and produced the second year but died the third, the clay here gets them eventually. That is why I keep my banana plants in pots when I can, afraid I will lose the good ones to the red clay, only so much soil ammending you can do!

Re: Agree with Sean.
What's the usual chilling hours over there during the winter? Florida have some specific peaches suited for very low chilling hours. Also, for Georgians, there is a Peach Guardians rootstock which should be longer lasting than the current rootstocks. UGa have helped develop this one, you can google for Peach Guardian Rootstock.

Re: Agree with Sean.
That's a tough one Sean! Perhaps you need to contact your local agricultural extension officer in your county.
