Looking good, Keith!

Great photos, cute kid!

Make sure to explain to him not to rip the plants out of the ground when there's no fruit left. Somebody should have told me when I was two, it would have avoided a murdered pea plant :)

Every day he walks the yard, looks at all the banana plants and asks where the bananas are.

I hope we get some for him to pick. He loves bananas.

LOL
I was gonna say, that must be a rather hardy kid to survive shipping like that.

Congrats on the new corms. They look great and will surely take off. Are they all different varieties?

Re: Humongous corms
 

The two biggest are Saba, the others are Ice cream, Brazillian, Rose, bronze ornata and lavender ornata.

I love this picture because now people will realize just how tolerant and hardy bananas are. The first time someone on here shipped me a corm like that, I about crapped. YOU CUT the thing in half??? NOW I know better and I do the same when I ship. You almost have to when the pseudostem is too large to box up. By the time you get these planted, there will probably be an inch of growth from the center of each trunk.

Actually - two of them arrived with 2 inches of growth - you just can't see it in the pics.

You are right, bananas are pretty darn hardy, provided they come with either an intact rootsystem, or some decent stores, i.e. lots of corm.

Even with marginal amounts of corm they will survive, but corms like these just leap out of the ground and take off.

Am I missing something? Where is the picture , on this thread or another? It's not showing up for me, but I have no problem viewing any other pictures.

Re: Humongous corms
 

refresh the page, there's 2 pictures in the first post

Re: Humongous corms
 

The website where the pics are has been having a bandwidth problem since I posted the tissue culture website and the hydroponics website. They are intermittanly showing up.

Perhaps I will move these two pic to the photo gallery here.

Thanks for the help, now I see em! Congrats on those new additions and kudos to Rmplmnz for sending such nice specimens!!! Those pictures are also great reminders of how fast our kids grow up, mine started as truly tiny's and now they're more like saba's.

Re: Humongous corms
 

Very Nice! I wish mine were all that size when I got them (All TC plants 5-8").

Adorable kid!
And not one Children of the Corm joke?
Sorry I just had to say it.
