Re: Musa 'Pahari Kela' (Hill banana)
Hey cowpoke (wanna call ya Jim but I'd think I was talking to myself) , in my quest for the perfect seed-type nanner, if I run across a Pahari Kela, up for grabs, I'll pm & let ya know. BTW, thanx for the extra info on SW India! Knew the northern coasts of the Adriatic sea were very similar; never gave India much thought, till now!

Quote:
I haven't heard about Lal Kela, could you elaborate please? The doc says it only has red fruit. But it's hardiness should resemble that of Pahari Kela. But from this article it seems like if it was the Musa 'Red' we know: Banana Dunno. Any more info? Quote:
Pahari Kela and Virupakshi (or Virupaksha) are two different species known in India as "Hill bananas" and thus considered to be the same, yet they differ in stature and fruit (and the article seems to be talking about Virupakshi).

Re: Musa 'Pahari Kela' (Hill banana)

They are looking great Jack. I had to wonder about their fate since they didn't look so good upon arrival. Thanks for the update.

Re: Musa 'Pahari Kela' (Hill banana)
Just as I finished writting the Edit, thunderstorm began. Winds of 70mph and almsot no rain. Just cloudy sky, lots of thunders, bolts... everything but rain. The weather is terrible, when I find the nanas' leaves shredded tomorrow I think I'm gonna seriously think about erecting a anti-hail/wind-damage fence.

Re: Musa 'Pahari Kela' (Hill banana)
Thanks for the update. So you don't think they'd like the 100F+ temps I had last week, eh???
Too bad on the wind, but make sure your wind screen is sturdy so the wind doesn't topple it over onto your plants. |

This temperature issue and the fact that it is more suited to colder summer climates is only good, because it perfectly follows the characteristics given by Dr. Parmar even in a completely different climate. No windscreen in my garden. No need. It's just a seasonal wind, one of few.

Re: Musa 'Pahari Kela' (Hill banana)
My summer nights usually range from 58F-72F. It's very rare that we need to use our air conditioning after 9pm.

Dunno. I never go above 95°F, which is an extreme here, one or few days only. Some summers yes, we do to 103 or more, but those are historical records... Btw. Almost everyday teh temps here are above 30°C, yet there's no air-conditioning anywhere. Btw Harvey, your weather sticker is broken or something... it always shows the strangest temperatures for your region.
