Re: Banana Progress
Well now I know I am going to grow papaya. You live in a place a little cooler than here and yours cam back so I guess I can do it too.
I wish I had as much room as you to plant. Looks fun. |

Re: Banana Progress
Looking beautiful, all of the hard work is paying off and looking great. Get that hot tub going, it can sure change an attitude. Hoping to get up to see you soon, all of my time is spent doing what you have done but I'm much slower. Thanks

Re: Banana Progress
The hot tub is up and running as of tonight YAY! Finally quit relying on friends and called in the pros! It was going in an hour. Yeah they will be giants for sure this year! Now that the tub is up I have to clean up all around it from the disaster of moving it in and installing it plus the ditch dug throughout 100 feet of my back yard for electrical wiring! The kids have a half day tomorrow, so we will be working on some clean up tasks!

Re: Banana Progress
I will post photos soon, but wanted to post because I wanted to get everyones opinion on what to do. I am digging an Orinoco that is out front by the street and also a Monkey Fingers as I have another Mat of both doing better in other locations. I want to plant one of the ones that I don't have in the ground yet there but I'm not sure what!
Update: The Raja Puri you can now see the bananas which is VERY exciting for all of us and we now have a paddle and flag leaf on one of our praying hands it's actually one of our smaller ones so we are hoping the other ones are soon to follow! Here are the varieties that I do not have in the ground but have in my possession that can be planted. Mind you some of these I know I might have to dig and I'm fully able to do so as we did it with our Dwarf Reds last year. Here are the varieties that are not in the ground. I will be able to choose two possibly three of these to go in the ground. Let me know what would be your picks and why! Manzano Ae Ae Dwarf Puerto Rican Pisang Juri Buaya TaNee Velutina Golden Aromatic SH 3640 Ice Cream Those I believe are the only ones I have that are not in the ground! I appreciate everyones feedback on what should go in the ground! We dug up several Dwarf Reds and hauled them in and out and we also have a greenhouse now that we can dig and put into the ground!

Re: Banana Progress
FYI,
Dwarf Puerto Rican = Dwarf Puerto Rican "Plantain"...:-) I would say "GA"...did you see the "size" (huge raceme with large hands and fingers) of the fruit in my video? |

Re: Banana Progress
I would go with the Ice Cream and any semi cold hardy dwarf. I think the Dwarf Reds are a great canidate and I would not dig them instead I would protect them. IMHO

Re: Banana Progress
After looking at your Raja Puri I think my Goldfinger may be a Raja Puri. What do you think?
