Does this look
Discovered this flower this morning on one of my pots of Dwarf Cavendish. Does this look like it might be choked?

Re: Does this look
The other blooms we have had the flowers that hung downward. Maybe in the past we did not notice them in the early stages? Funny thing we have been growing them for years and have never seen a flag leaf!
They always came into bloom sometime in March in the greenhouse. This past winter we had to drop the night time temperature to 50 degrees because it costs a bundle to heat a 96' greenhouse when you have cold weather that started in December (not typical for where we live). |

Re: Does this look
Wow what a difference in 24 hours! I now see the flag leaf and the flower bud is dropping!

Re: Does this look
Thank you so much. If memory serves me right, it is 90 days until harvest?

Re: Does this look
So it looks like it will be 90 days before harvest? Is that correct? First frost here is somewhere between mid to late October. If so it will be a heck of a time getting the pot and bananas back in the greenhouse.
Any suggestions? I was in error before this is not the semi-dwarf because this Cavendish is 5 to 6' tall. |
