Let's get them to maturity before I start promising a loaf!.... Then we'll talk about a trade

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-05-2010, 01:10 PM

Sure thing Bob...

your Hollyberries might take awhile to ripen too, before I can mail the shrub, and then we can talk about a trade. For once, I couldn't agree with you more!

Plplplplplth!

Bob · 09-05-2010, 01:12 PM

You win... as usual... send the recipe!

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-05-2010, 01:16 PM

It's on it's way Bob...

I knew you would see the light!

Wow, Ante, you're so small.

CoryS · 09-05-2010, 08:08 PM

Bob, def props and thanks for the new photos!

They look like they could ripen soon but I'd def like to see the buffalo wings shot! That had to be one incredible contest!

ShearMe · 09-05-2010, 08:22 PM

Hey Jack, that Palm is looking a bit pale...

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-05-2010, 10:38 PM

Bob would kill me Cory, if I actually showed it...but it's a real good one! Very becoming!

Nice photo, Ante!

: )

Bob · 09-06-2010, 04:51 AM

Looking good Ante!

I bet you'lll be posting your flowering process next year! One thing I noticed about Ice Cream bananas is that they put out more pups than most of the other varieties I have so last year I started removing most of them when they were very small to keep more energy in the mother corm. I kept one pup on mine so when I chop the one with the bananas down later this year it will have the full mature corm supplying it. You can see it's almost as tall as the parent plant now but, that one had about 7 feet cut off of it in the previous 2 winters to bring indoors.

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-06-2010, 11:56 AM

I am wondering, and others that have never grown bananas may be wondering as well...

What happens to a banana plant after it produces fruits? Is it capable of flowering again, or does the plant die?

: )

Jack Daw · 09-06-2010, 12:03 PM

Bob, I just counted those fingers. One for each regularly posting member, right?

Keep taking those pics. Love 'em!

harveyc · 09-06-2010, 12:05 PM

HBL, it eventually dies as it never sends out another leaf, but it can be sustained for a long time if other plants in the mat exist to help feed it.

Next year???
Come on Bob, be serious for a moment please! Banana harvest is coming to end any day now!

hey!

The Hollyberry Lady · 09-07-2010, 12:01 AM

LoL, Ante. You show more shots than Bob!!!

Your stuff sure looks fantastic.

: )

Patty in Wisc · 09-08-2010, 09:22 PM

Very nice 'jungle' there Ante!!

I'm glad you have your avatar back ---- I love it!

Bob · 10-31-2010, 03:28 PM

Yesterday was the day! I cut the 3 month old bunch off the plant:

and now it's hanging on my front porch , I'm just hoping they'll ripen having only matured about half way as opposed to if they were in a warmer zone.

Sure it's a stunted and not overly productive bunch but .. for New Jersey ....one of the first plants I got when joining the org and my first bunch of bananas I'll take it.

I cut the mother plant down keeping the whole corm to supply nutrients to the pup that I'll dig up this week. I really believe that will help it produce even faster the next time but more on that in another thread yet to come.

Dalmatiansoap · 10-31-2010, 03:32 PM

They have some nice pulp now. To bad U had to cut them so early

ShearMe · 10-31-2010, 03:35 PM

Shwoop-de-woop, that's an awesome possum you got there.

momoese · 10-31-2010, 04:12 PM

I was thinking you were going to protect them for a bit in a little greenhouse but they should still ripen just fine for you.
