Thanks. I was just curious where they came from, Bryce. There are 2 suckers on the one I received from you & and they're pushing 6 feet already. They stole all the love I was giving the clump, and the original plant gave up.

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
Honestly I got the worst results putting lots of care in my bananas. I do tend to keep the suckers off so that may factor in bigger plants. It's Not to benefit the plant but to increase my numbers. SH 3640 is awesome especially when a jungle of them is established.

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
It appears that Inverness FL is in USDA cold hardiness zone 11. If I had that weather I could probably get by with a lot less plant care too.

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
I'm guessing city-data.com picked Miami FL for your data

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
That's about the driving distance from here to Fresno, CA ... LOL.
I see the Weather Underground has a few stations online from Inverness. Is this station in your micro-climate? https://www.wunderground.com/persona...?ID=KFLINVER13

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
As a brief report, the bananas ripened well and they were very nice. The flavor was similar to Goldfinger, but I thought slightly better. The texture was excellent: firm yet smooth when chewed. My tiny plant made a tiny bunch (10 lb total), but the fingers were nice sized (120-150 grams) considering how small the plant was. I wish this variety was more productive in my yard. That said, it wouldn't displace Mysore or Dwarf Brazilian on my list of favorite bananas to eat.

Re: Tales of SH-3640's
Yes, thanks. The fires are several miles southeast of us. Last year's Thomas Fire came within about a mile of us. That was scary.

Right now I have three plants with an inflorescence and fruit bunch and it took me a long time to finally have them fruit. The fruit bunches are not filling in the way I was hoping for either (but I admit negligence this year). Overall disappointing and I am grateful to have the real deal from Hector now, so more than likely this mat will have to go. |
