![]() Hello,
I was a previous member named Bamboo connoisseur, but have since had my old email acct deactivated. So I have decided to start a new one. My name is Aaron. Currently I have growing: Florida tall green Cavendish, Black Thai, Manzano apple, and a dwarf Cavendish. I hope to aquire Namweh, both the regular and dwarf Gros Michel, Grand nain, Mysore, Goldfinger, Pisang, and more. Right now I have the tall green Cavendish fruiting as well as an apple. The apple fruits seem quite tiny compared to the other. I also grow other plants such as mangos, including Orange sherbert, Valencia pride, Maha Chinook. I grow avocados too, including bacon, and my personal favorite the Brogden. I also grow many types of bamboo including some of the largest bamboos known such as Dendrocalamus giganteus. I also grow other edible plants. I look forward to good conversation, trades and such, and learning. Thank you for such a great site, and helpful people.

![]() Hello, yes they do have a good deal of black to dark deep purple on the p-stems and leave stems. It darkens until about medium to tall stage and then the stem becomes more green as it matures. It will retain the black leaf stems though. I am trying to upload a couple pics, will do so once I can.

![]() Hi. Welcome back.
I'm in Sanford. Have Orinoco for sure and 5 others I purchased that are undetermined: Manzano, Gros Michel, Namwa, Majoi and Pisang Raja. Would be willing to share with u when I'm sure of ID's. The Raja fruits and looks more like a Manzano. ![]() Here's to the Manzano being something else I like. Frankly, I won't complain. The Orinoco was a gift and I wouldn't have chosen that variety. Turns out it's quite tasty and I can't wait til they ripen (2 bunches as I write).

![]() I did, but killed it lol. It is a Fe'i aiuri. I made the mistake of leaving it in full sun, and it was a tc. Its a disappointment, as I really wanted this type of banana. You live and you learn. I will try again.
