Default I finally gave in and did it
Even though I really couldn't afford to do it LOL! I went and purchased a AE AE and also a TANEE.... Should have the Ae Ae the end of this week and TANEE in a few weeks and I can't wait. Hopefully I'll have good luck with them. I had a Ae Ae about five years ago and got it at about a foot tall and it was 7ft tall and gorgeous and I forgot to bring it in ONE night and it was done. This one I will be more careful with!

Congrats! Ae Ae will always be a favorite banana of mine and Tanee might even replace Ae Ae's one day since they are beautiful and more hardy. Looking forward to some updates!

Why do you have to bring your Ae Ae in? Is that just in the winter? I am in south Florida and have never touched mine...it does really well here.

Ae Ae












So, it came, broke in two places. I have staked it up in hopes it will be ok, but I'm very dissappointed. I haven't decided yet whether to file a claim. It wasn't shipped very well the pseudostem wasn't protected and the pot it was in must have at some point landed on top of it causing the stem to be Z shaped when it arrived to me. The seller listed they don't take responsibility once it leaves them, however ebay said I could file a claim. I want to see how it does, but not sure the time limit on filing a claim... Any input???

Yeah I noticed that this morning I was hoping since I staked it as soon as it came and straightened it up that it would push through, however I'm not sure if that was there before the break or after. I know when we cut bananas by the time we repot a few hours later there is some new growth just in the few hours... So, I guess I will watch it a week or so to see if it continues to grow. Do you think fertilizing it at this point would be a good idea?

I generally wait until I know my pups are rooted before feeding or watering much (about 2-3 weeks) They get an initial watering just after potting then I wait.

They shipped it in the pot so its pretty rooted into a 1 gallon pot. I'm hoping thats new growth and will wait before I cut it. If it was ANY other banana I wouldn't hesitate to wack it LOL. Only thing has me worrying is the $$$!

Don't worry your pup looks just fine..take the stake off cut off the brocken parts and plant it in a big pot or on the ground. since you got a large size corm and good weather if you cut it off ..plant will comes up strong and beautiful. The new leaves may look strange but the plant will fix it.

I'd still let it get a little new growth before going too wild with food and water. Right now it has no way of transpiring any water so as long as the soil is moist that should be fine.

You guys think bump it up to a bigger pot say 3, 5 or 7 gallon and let it take hold before putting in the ground would be the safest (more control over watering etc)

If it's already fully rooted in the pot it came in,I would up the pot size or plant in ground.IMO

Do you see an advantage of doing one over the other?

I'm assuming you have very warm days and warm nights with high humidity since you're in Florida. If that's the case, I'd say planting in the ground is to your biggest advantage as long as you properly prepare the soil. In my location with low humidity and cool nights I have left mine in a pot and in my greenhouse until they got quite large so that they've got more vigor when I planted them in the ground but your conditions should be much more favorable.

If you plant in ground now you won't have to replant later.

Sorry to hear about the damage through shipping, I hope that it does well for you. It looks like it has new growth coming up already so it might be okay! I think you can file a claim within 60 days, Im not sure about that though.

I agree with the others that it will be fine, and you have new growth showing already. If you would have purchased a Tanee from me, I would have sent you one twice as big and packed it extremely well. You can check with Randy and others on this forum who have gotten one from me. I hope you got a good deal at least.

Edited to add: Since you are in a zone that freezes, you probably shouldn't plant it in the ground unless you plan to dig it up later.
