Blue Java storm casualty
Bummer: we had a huge rain storm yesterday afternoon. It snapped my Blue Java which had a beautiful fruit bunch hanging I was looking so forward to:
Fruits were hanging for three month. Bunch was nicely supported, but wind gusts of 60 miles/hr were just too much for it. Not quite filled in yet, but hanging now in the garage and hopefully some fruits will be edible.... My loss, someone elses gain: I have saved this corm pup. If interested, please send me a PM. It is soaking now in a seaweed solution and will be potted up otherwise. |

Re: Blue Java storm casualty
So sad. I have a Blue Java with a bunch hanging right now as well. My p-stem is really starting to lean. I want to get it propped up before something similar happens to my plant.

Propping is mandatory. I have another bunch growing and a third inflorescence is showing up, so all is good. I was looking forward to this particular bunch though, because it was filling in and ripening over a very nice summer. Get yours propped ASAP, you never know when these summer storms will hit. There was no warning in the weather forecast, but my bunch was propped with 2" PVC pipe and still did not make it through that nasty storm. Last edited by crazy banana : 09-17-2014 at 03:45 PM. |

Re: Blue Java storm casualty
Sorry to hear of your lose but think positive. On a side note what's the difference in the ice cream an blue java ice cream plants? Do either plants look different? I have just the ice cream. Thx.

Re: Blue Java storm casualty
Let it be where it is and see if it ripens. Mound some compost over the root ball and water well. You might be surprised.

Re: Blue Java storm casualty
I'll be damn, the same thing happened to me this weekend also. We had a storm in Daytona Beach and it broke my AeAe with a fruit bunch in half and on the way down it also took down the largest sucker that was growing in front of it. Needless to say, I am not so happy. I am going to take the really large plant and pot it on a big pot and treat it as a corm and wait to see any growth before I start to really water it. but the one with the fruit was broken in half. I will let it lay there till I see the fruit start to die of ripen. I don't think that they are old enough to ripen at all. Let me take this minute to say this about AeAe: They are not all that they are made out to be. Very messy trees not the best fruit, and suckers that die one after another after another. They are pretty indeed and I a happy I have one but they are not all that they are made out to be. The only one that is happy or realizes what I have is me. So it is a personal thing.

Re: Blue Java storm casualty
OK...... Who in the heck can sell me a Blue Java that has fruit that looks like the fruit in this picture in this thread??? I have cut down all of mine because they are just short bananas that do taste god but DO NOT look like the ones in this pic or as described by others that say that they have true Blue Java. I WANT ONE......
