4 Basjoos flowering
I have 4 different basjoos flowering in my yard this years. Plants have been in the ground 4 years. I have saved the stems each year.

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
Greetings lwabirds! Try to spend pollination of the 4 flowers Basjoo. We will look that will turn out. It is said that Musa basjoo very seldom forms seeds.

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
Hi,
try to pollinate the basjoos please, to try to produce seeds! If you do have another banana species like sikkimensis, velutina, xishuangbannaensis, itinerans, yunnanensis and others, even fruit bananas, then try to cross the basjoo with them! We need new hardy banana hybrids, also hardy fruit bananas which are as hardy as basjoo. Best wishes Joachim |

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
I'll do my best. You can see my Musa Sikkimensis in the background. They are not flowering.

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
It would be interesting to observe of pollination process. Update a theme photos of pollination and development of fruit. The photo can be brought in Wiki. When flower Basjoo will be pollinated, fruit will look like more round form, because of presence in them of seeds.

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
Agri-Starts, Inc. - Musa
Mine bloomed for the first time here in Raleigh, NC. It took two seasons of protecting the stems with the large C-9 christmas lights. The bananas are small, about 3 inches and very little pulp. The were green then turned yellow for a day or two then turned brown and fell off. The birds didn't eat them so I assume that the pulp was not very good or not much to them. Three stems have come up to replace the one that has bloomed. Home

Joachim, I've often thought that crossing Velutina with Basjoo would be great, because you'd get a hardy pink banana that looked like a full sized tree, and of course (hopefully) the flower would be just as nice as Velutina. Maybe a cross that would look something like this: (m. Velutina x (m. Basjoo x m. Velutina) ) x m. Basjoo. I think in that order of nomenclature should result in what I was speaking of, if anyone's interested.

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
Hi,
it's not simple to cross Musa basjoo with Musa velutina. But now is the Musa basjoo pup from Germany thriving very well here in Brazil and has already several tiny suckers. And I will get 2 pups of Musa velutina tomorrow, and also the importantest cross partners for my basjoo here. I will make trials. I do remember that anyone has tried to cross one Musa basjoo with velutina. Did fertile seed form? Seedless edible bananas are mostly triploid and there are also tetraploid seedless bananas like FHIA-18 which I will get tomorrow. Triploid banana cultivars will form when one diploid is crossed with one tetraploid. To get one tetraploid, then make it like FHIA in Honduras and Embrapa in Brazil, crosses between diploid and tetraploid. Best wishes Joachim |

Re: 4 Basjoos flowering
Iwabirds, Looking good! I want a flower in the worst way, hopefully next year. You said they have been in the ground four years. Have the main stems survived that long or where they replaced by the pups? what zone are you in too?
Thanks, Bill |
