Banana Identification
Hello All,
So my plants are back in my grow room for the winter. I have two plants that could possibly be Truly Tiny and I am wondering if they will ever fruit. I posted some pics in my gallery. The plant is 44 inches tall. If the plants won't fruit I want to move them to my garage to give some elbow room to my other plants. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sandy |

Re: Banana Identification
Did these plants ever have 'wine stains' on the leaves? I don't seen any on the plants now. If 'NO', then these are probably not Tinys, but environment can effect the stains (???). ... It seems Truely Tinys are hard to fruit, but some members of the forum have done it. ... I think the plants need a 10 to 15 gal pot and the potassium fertilizer needs to be increased to fruit.
I have 6 Tinys myself. |

Re: Banana Identification
Yes. At when the plants were much younger they had wine stains and I do have some pups that have wine stains but the larger plants do not. Any recommendations on potassium fertilizer or will any do? I do have Banana Fuel from Wellspring Gardens. it's a 15-5-30 fertilizer that I use.

Re: Banana Identification
ME ....zone 5/6.....hopeless for fruit..
Maybe a flower in a few years.....LOL..not. This plant is easily broken up by the winter break.......which adds another 10 months of uncertainty....BUT that only adds years to your plant...HMM Enjoy your plant.....I love mine, makes a short statement on garden paths. This plant is a great pupper also. Feed it triple 19. Truly tiny... by Hostafarian, on Flickr |

You choices for potassium are Muriate of Potassium ( aka: Potassium Chloride) or Potassium Sulfate. Most garden centers will have Muriate of Potassium , some may have Potassium Sulfate. ... I use potassium sulfate because the sulfur helps to acidify the soil which bananas love (about 6 pH). |

Re: Banana Identification
Actually last year my Ice Cream banana plant produced fruit. I refuse to be defeated.

Re: Banana Identification
Were all or any the hands that the plant produced edible?
