Bananas I'm Growing...Pics

Jetstream · 09-13-2005, 01:53 PM

Is it possible to have too many Bananas? If I add up all the bananas I have fruiting, I think I'll have at least a 1000 pounds of fruit in a few months. Just thought I'd share a few pics...

...Zan Moreno

...FHIA-18

...Ice Cream

...Dwarf Cav

...Goldfinger

...Enjoy...Z

nay

only too many ripened at the same time..LOL

good looking fruit, condrads..

as mine have already blew their wad ( so to speak ) for this year, well till nov..

gees i blew by that fhia18, was admiring the pics !!!!
11-12 fingers per hand? 8-10 bunches?
and
gotta get the d.c. in the ground ..

Racer968 · 09-13-2005, 03:00 PM

Very Impressive.

momoese · 09-13-2005, 03:12 PM

Wow, that's going to be interesting trying to eat all those at the same time! I'm sure your friends and family will love you.

saturn · 09-13-2005, 04:15 PM

Thanks for the photos
Be sure to give us taste reports after they ripen!

Would you mind telling us where you live?

Great pics, great bunches. Wow...

bananalover · 09-13-2005, 07:18 PM

Brag, Brag, Brag, lol, just kidding. Needed something else to say besides WOW!
They really look great. Since they can be canned, dried and frozen as well I myself could find a use for them though I might get tired of banana after a while, bet it would last all year!

Jetstream · 09-13-2005, 07:53 PM

Thanks for all the compliments, but I think "Mother Nature" did most of the work. I just helped out a little. I think I have at least twenty different bunches going now...which means once the B's are eaten, I'll have a lot of future compost to contend with...

Jeff · 09-13-2005, 09:18 PM

Great pics! Let us know how you like the taste of the Ice Cream fruit. I didn't care for them much and gave away all my plants.

Love the FHIA-18! hmmmm, gonna have to find room for one of those!

Goldfinger is good, but I like SH3640 better - all a matter of personal taste.

Bananavilla · 09-14-2005, 12:40 AM

Jetstream, does your Ice Cream have white stripes on the bracts as they open? I'm curious to hear from another Ice Cream grower as to weather or not that is a typical characteristic.

AnnaJW · 09-14-2005, 12:47 AM

Oh, WOW!!! I would sooo love to look out in my yard and see all of those bananas! Congrats!

pitangadiego · 09-14-2005, 01:08 AM

NO!!! you can never have too many bananas!!

JoeReal · 09-14-2005, 02:43 AM

Pitangadiego has the most number and kinds of banana growing in his yard in the whole US of A! He has fruited most of them.

AnnaJW · 09-14-2005, 04:11 AM

I am hoping to get "established" enough in the Online Banana community, to get to a chance visit Pitangadiego's gardens... We are just down the road a bit. :-)

pitangadiego · 09-14-2005, 06:31 PM

Anna,

Visitors ore always welcome. Come on down.

momoese · 09-15-2005, 12:45 PM

I'm pretty sure this is jetstream, but who's that with him?

Jetstream · 09-15-2005, 01:08 PM

Cute...but no banana...I ride a HARLEY dude. Maybe I'll have to load it up with bananas for this years Daytona Biketoberfest. On the way over, I can stop off at the Cabbage Patch in Samsula and instead of nude coleslaw wrestling...they can party with my 'nanas...later...Z

tlturbo · 09-15-2005, 01:16 PM

A club I used to go to many years ago had contests that involved lovely young things and eating bananas.

Bottle of champaign to the winner.

NOW I know what got me interested in wine and growing these things.

Terry

momoese · 09-15-2005, 04:30 PM

Sounds like fun. You could also throw them at bad drivers along the way. lol

AnnaJW · 09-16-2005, 03:48 AM

Thanks, Pitangadiego! That would be awesome to see all of the plants you have down there!
