Got Namwa
In the tune of the Beatles Hey Jude! Na Na Na Na Na Namwa!!!!
Lost them all last year in the hurricane so this is a welcome sight. This is from a cut off and replanted stalk so probably smaller than the norm but welcome.

Re: Got Namwa
Bummer. I was hoping for 3 months. I have a friend coming down from Illinois the day after xmas and I was hoping to have something ready as mine just threw a pre flag yesterday...
I had 2 nice bunches last year but Irma saw to it I never got to see them ripen... (Picture me out in 60+ mph winds with pouring rain in my yellow Mickey mouse poncho using two props trying to save the second one once the first went down.)

Re: Got Namwa
Thank you, yes I thought the one to the right would go first. There is one on the left from the same time frame so its possible we may eventually have 3. We'll see. I wont be comfortable until hurricane season is over. We had bananas on most of or collection last year and lost all but Orinoco.

Re: Got Namwa

Re: Got Namwa
I have an idea in my head... It involves a lot of PVC, a few nails, some bungee cords and a few sandbags. It's fully adjustable for any size plant and can hold a bunch if necessary. All I need is about $1000 and 3 hurricanes to test it out....
