Very nice!

austinl01 · 07-13-2008, 11:56 AM

Awesome bananas, Taylor!!! I can't get over how short the CA Gold banana is. This must be a short banana--looks to be about 6 ft. It would probably be an easy one to dig up and store for the winter.

mskitty38583 · 07-13-2008, 12:00 PM

congrats taylor! its amazing how much they grow when your not looking.

dablo93 · 07-13-2008, 03:39 PM

great bananas!
nice that you got a flower in your california gold

CookieCows · 07-13-2008, 03:44 PM

Taylor, what are you going to do with the C.Gold fruit? Are you going to bring it in and try to ripen them when it gets too cold?

Taylor · 07-13-2008, 03:51 PM

I think they will ripen before our first frost.

3-4 months from now is Oct-Nov ~15...and our average first frost is Nov 17th. Last year our first frost was in December though.

magicgreen · 07-14-2008, 12:47 PM

Wow Taylor everything looks so good!! I really like the Stuttgard canna!! Gonna have to add that one to my collection!! Thanks for the pics!

Wow Taylor, some cool banana's you have their, and what a collection you're getting! They grow real fast as well in your climate, and I also look forward to seeing pics of the Ornata bloom! Keep up the good work.
