Default How about them Fe'i? Or Ty Taylor? :)

Out of those who got Fe'i from Ty Taylor, how many are still alive? Mine died (my own fault).

Anyone growing Fe'i from elsewhere?

They are supposed to be a tall banana and I have had bad luck with tall bananas.

Has anyone heard from Ty, for that matter? I don't see anything for sale by him on Ebay.

I have the Fei 'Aiuri' growing from the Agristarts tissue culture batch. Do you know what type you had before? I am really interested in getting other types. I haven't fruited it yet but they are getting up to size. Very slow growing compared to others.

Mine were supposed to be Fe'i 'Aiuri' and I got them from Ty Taylor. I killed 'em. My fault, I think.

They are fussy. I killed the first one I had. The second one I planted out was more developed in the pot and I put it in a very sheltered location with rich acid soil and heavy mulch. I am hoping they are easier to start from more developed pups instead of TC.

My Fei 'Aiuri died, as well my plant came from another org member and was a tc. I am not going to attempt again. I have my 1 verigated that I have been coddling for 2yrs which is doing OK and I am good with that. FEI IS beautiful and I would love to someone on here take her all the way.

TY Taylor is doing just fine, spoke to him this past week. They are doing a lot of clean up and re evaluating & and starting to expand into some other topicals. I am sure in the near future we will be seeing him.

Happy growing all

Darla

I have heard of someone fruiting Fei in Tampa, FL but I don't know what variety. I think this was before the TC plants but not certain. It would be so cool to see it in person and get to eat some that you managed to push along. I'm not super active here but I'll make sure to post if I somehow manage to get that far. I'm giving her all she's got captain!

thanks valor x, I snagged a few.

I had one I got from greendreams but it came with an order that was put in a big box without any packing or securing so most came broken stems and such. It made it a few days before dying completely. I'll baby these in pots for a month before introducing to the banana grove.

If you got it from fibonacci279 on ebay he's a new seller and looks like he's not even planting them. He's actually hit me up for tips on selling plants.
If you get them and they are still just plugs and not hardened off, good luck.
I've killed quite a few Fe'i, they are a hard one even here in San Diego.
