Hello, pics of my naners.

old man · 08-29-2021, 04:32 PM

Due to the climate here I grow all mine inside for ornamental purposes.

Here is my jungle room:

Pair of Truly Tinys and a pair of Variegated ones:

A 6 pack of mystery bananas:

My Ensete (older pic, it's very sick at the momen):

And check out this cool iridescent effect one of my zebrina pups is doing. Don't know if it's normal or permanent but it's cool:

Anyways, I've been lurking a long time and figure I'd post a hello.

Newfoundland. I'm not sure what zone I am in. Canada and the US use different zone systems that can't be converted it seems. Doesn't get too cold here but a lot of snow. I think I am going to try some Basjoo outside next summer, all the snow should act as a good blanket.

It certainly is!

Shelves from Costco. $125CAD.

Lights from amazon for $110CAD.

Add some zip ties and a cheap WiFi timer plug and you're set. The elephant I actually got from your neck of the woods, somewhere in the UK a few months ago.

Now that was a fun game!!! I found the elephant, looks grand.

All of your "zebrina" appear to be Cavendish.

The Zebrina I have has long leaves and appears to want to grow taller and slender, almost like the bordelons I have. Those plants actually look like my truly tinys did early on but have outgrown that (gorgeous) look.

Could very well be. I just looked through pictures and thought they matched the Blood Banana more than the Cavendish. They were only labelled as 'Musa'.

old man · 09-01-2021, 06:52 PM

Here a few more pics. Can anyone ID them?

(the one in the bottom left is a different kind)

wstrickland1 · 09-02-2021, 07:13 AM

Those angles tell me they're definitely truly tiny

but they don't look like the Zebrina I have.

No matter what they're gorgeous, healthy plants. Here are some shots of my zebrina

Okay, one more then. I thought the one on the left was Truly Tiny?

Valor_X · 09-03-2021, 08:56 AM

The ones on the bottom left definitely look like Super Dwarf / Truly Tiny

Here are mine, Super Dwarf Cavendish on the left and Truly Tiny on the right.
Mine are a lot bigger (you can compare to the lounge chair right behind) but when smaller and younger they have wine stained leaves.
The Truly Tiny still has a little bit you can barely see.
Both of them have several pups that are hidden with all the leaves.

Some people say Super Dwarf Cavendish & Truly Tiny are the same thing, others say the real Truly Tiny is a Brazilian mutation.
Even if true chances are "Truly Tiny's" sold are actually re-labeled Super Dwarf Cavendish.
I'm growing both anyway
