Ae Ae pups growing up

cagary · 06-29-2008, 11:29 PM

The Ae Ae pups I dug away from their mother are finally growing on their own.

Here's the base of the mother with still more pups.

Close up of the variegation.

Mom from a distance. Has to be over 20 feet tall!

Nice AeAe's, and NICE tree fern!

Chironex · 06-29-2008, 11:47 PM

Wow, they sure seem to like it there! Hope mine does at least half as well. Where do you live? Zone?
How long have you had it and has she flowered for you?
Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for posting the pictures. It's good to see someone having so much success with AeAes.

buzzwinder · 06-30-2008, 12:06 AM

Great pictures cagary. Where are you located -zone-. I would love an AeAe, Beautiful plants, but alas, I am zonally and experientially challenged, would hate to kill one.

, yours seem to be very happy in their environment, congrats

hydrojeff · 06-30-2008, 09:18 AM

Cagary,

Wow when it rains it pours, where do we sign up for purchasding pups?
Thanks for the pics this gives everyone hope.

dablo93 · 06-30-2008, 01:28 PM

nice! you have a great garden.
has every ae ae pup from you the variegation on it?

mskitty38583 · 06-30-2008, 03:49 PM

i sent a pm for a pup. wahoo!!!!

cagary · 06-30-2008, 11:25 PM

Thanks everyone for your kind posts.

The pups will be going on ebay to see what the market will bear.

The problem with Ae Ae banana plants is that they get so tall. The first one I bought was planted in a greenhouse in the ground and it very quickly smashed into the somewhat high 12 foot ceiling. I really think that if you can't grow them outside, its not worth spending the money on one. Last week a Ae Ae pup went for over $200.

dablo93, So far out of the 11 pups the mother has produced, all have been variegated, but I have heard that sometimes one gets a green one and even an all white one the quickly dies because it can't make any "food" for itself.

I'm in south Orange County in CA and, as you can see from the photo, the Ae Ae is in a rather protected spot.

Very nice mother and babies! What is your e-bay name so we can watch? Can you let us know when you put them up there?
