Help with ID
Hello,
Someone gave me this tree a couple of years ago and I was wondering if you could help me ID it. Here are a few pics of the tree, Mind you I know nothing about banana trees. The tree in the photo (well 2 trees now) is about 3 feet tall at the point where the branches leave the top of the tree.   Thanks, Sergio35 |

Re: Help with ID
really? I never thought about that.
Do you think it will get bigger? do you know how old it is and how old does it need to be to fruit? Thanks and sorry about all the questions. |

Re: Help with ID
It's been a couple of years? Has it been in the ground the whole time?

Re: Help with ID
I think so, It was given to me about 2 1/2 years ago, and it has been in the ground since then thats for sure. When I got it it still had dirt in the bag that was wrapped around the roots. My understanding is that the guy who gave it to me dug it up from his garden.

Re: Help with ID
Is it possible you planted it very deep?

Re: Help with ID
I don't believe so, I mean I put the roots into the ground but I
wouldn't say I planted it very deep. I guess just to the normal depth, also the second one grew this last season from teh ground. |

Re: Help with ID
Well, then, since they seem so healthy vigorous, eventually you'll get a bloom. Once you do, post a closeup of the flowers.

Re: Help with ID
Gut feel is that it is a Cavendish type.

I've read somewhere to plant the corm 1 feet deep to protect if from frost and to prevent the plant from being blown over by fierce winds. But I haven't found this confirmed anywhere.

Re: Help with ID
Well, I had asked because if its terribly deep, it'll strain for water and other nutrients.
1ft isn't bad. I've collected bananas in nature growing 1ft OVER the soil line, suspended in old fallen trees. Too deep, the pups are hard to remove, the nutrients wont make their way as easily. Too shallow, and there's the probability to topple with wind or weight of the fruit.
