Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
Really! That's outstanding. My Dwarf Namwa and Goldfinger grow slower during our "winter", but do not stop like some of the other cultivars. So the SH 3640 should power on through!

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
I've had SH-3640 for about three years but it has not done very well for me and it seems (to me) to be less cold tolerant than Dwarf Namwah. The first year the main plant had grown to 4-5 feet tall but died but a pup sprouted in the spring. It grew somewhat slowly last year and it did make it through last winter but never got very vigorous this year, though part of that is probably because it ended up getting shaded by larger banana plants that are nearby. Guess I'll try moving it in the spring.

Have seen similar myco effect on everything else except one of the 2 Ae Ae. The wimpy one will be relocated and the robust one should fruit soon. The PK is bigger that it ever grew before and will fruit eventually. |

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
I couldn't upload pictures either. Then I resized them so they were all under 1 MB and then they uploaded fine.

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
I have not had to resize photos and some of mine were over 3mb.

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
I will hazard a guess that the problems some people are having uploading images is due limitations imposed by their local network service provider.

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
I believe Richard is right! I looked and did not see a requirement of size on the upload.

Re: First taste of SH 3640 - Wow!
Check out post #354 in What did you harvest today (bananas). The mat yields 2 bunches a year now as long as frostless winters continue.
Something new this year --- left the bunch hang longer than ususal and the fingers developed much thicker skins. Ripening was way slower during hanging in the house so we got to eat naners right up to the last hand without freezing. Still gave a few hands away. Taste was wonderful. |
