HBL, you've got to get a medal, I've never seen someone trying so hard to derail his/her own thread. Bravo.

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
Wow - great pics, Jack!
: O Just consider it entertainment while you wait for my basjoo to grow. Derailing is a perfectly natural part of thread posting. One topic, always leads to another...   : ) |

 ..............excuse me! Hollyberry, you certainly know how to bring out the "best" in peopleAs Far as the flowering , after watching Scot Nelsons video and seeing how bananas are "supposed" to grow straight through and flower naturally I wonder how far each stress we put on them in colder climates sets them back. For example, dig it up to overwinter= stress. Repot, overwinter bare root, setting out in the cooler spring weather, cool nights during summer all unatural. I'm not so concerned about my basjoos but the others say. D. Namwah, Ca. Gold, veinte Cohol , I decided the best course of action is to plant in ground , overwinter in at least 15 gallons pots for a small plant ,as warm and bright as possible(I'm looking in to renting greenhouse space so I can keep them consistantly warm ). In the spring those that I'm really keen on will be planted in the little hoop house so I can keep them warmer at night. This will come off when it's consistantly hot. As far as your basjoo 3-4 years would seem right for the corm and all to develop sufficient size and be able to produce as opposed to one grown outdoors in a naturally warmer climate that may do it in half that.

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
Well Nob - woops, I mean Bob!
 Looks like you might get your wish yet... My indoor basjoo is getting mighty big! It needs somewhere with lots of sun and lots of room. I will repot it into something bigger and get it outside - maybe. I am subject to changing my mind however, so don't go counting your chickens, Kob...Bob I mean. Damn it - don't know why I keep missing the "B" button!!!  Ok, time for me to go to bed - it's 3 o'clock in the morning!!!!! : O  |

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
Yeah, before anyone writes it here, Mob, I mean Bob and Jolly, I mean Holly, some pics would be sooo great. I love looking at your naner, HBL, because I have no such perfect banana plant. My naners are all damaged by wind, animals...
 (please notice, that I want you both to think of a new pseudonym for me,  )

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
You guys are too funny!
: ) See my other banana plant beside my container pond? It really is taking off, now that we've warmed up so much. May have to move it to another sunny outdoor area if it gets too big. We'll see...  |

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
Nice. We had several 60+mph winds this year, so my plants are rather... tired or replacing the damaged tissue. Some of the leavs were dead and just hangin there, so I took a knife and did some magic.

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
Polly ( ok enough of this, that's probably your birds name anyway!) How did I guess you'd be rooting a Jade and whatever else that is in with your basjoo? Kind of a microcosm of your indoor apt. shots..........
Jumpin Jack Daw  ( are you too young to remember the Rolling Stones? )........I'll do better next time

Re: Growing 'Musa Basjoo' in London, Ontario, Canada...
 Yup, those are succulents rooting in my banana pot. I suppose you'll have something to say about that now, too! My bird's name is Henry - get it right!  Still nattering and bantering on incessantly about how I do things with... (((((((MY))))))) banana plant, huh Bob?  I was totally listening too, and I plan on taking all your advice! Can't wait to hear more...  NOT!!!  |
