Ed's FHIA-3 Sweetheart update
Here's an update on my sweetheart, hopefully before autumn I will be able to taste the fruit for the first time. The cooler weather (65° to 80°) does not seem to affect it and would rate the cold tolerance of this plant at number one compared to the other bananas that I grow.
Cold Tolerance 1- FHIA-3 Sweetheart 2- Namwah 3- Raja Puri 4- Manzano 5- Gran Nain - Rose - Dwarf Cavendish - Veinte Cohol 70" p-stem with a base diameter of 8"     FHIA-3 Sweetheart 5' p-stem 11-20-2013

Re: Ed's FHIA-3 Sweetheart update
I've had high winds (20-25mph) in the past week that caused damage to my Sweetheart and lost 2 leaves, not very wind tolerant unless it was hit with a freak gust of wind, my other banana plants have shredded leaves but none were broken.

Re: Ed's FHIA-3 Sweetheart update
So Coca Cola is your secret tonic? (I'm known to use an empty beer can for comparison poses; emphasis on empty. And my plants don't get a drop!)
Nice pup!

Re: Ed's FHIA-3 Sweetheart update
I've taken more photos of sweetheart pups. I removed the new red mulch down to the original brown surface for growth comparison. The mother plant has grown to a p-stem height of 7' 4".
4/12/2014  This is the pup on the right side of the mother plant above. 2/1/2014  |
