Nice to see a picture of some mature plants. I just got one this year still in a one gallon pot.

island cassie · 08-04-2008, 09:08 PM

Congratulations - they are gorgeous plants!

Cassie

Very nice!

Kenzie_POM · 08-09-2008, 11:45 PM

Way cool Cassie,

Can't wait to see the pictures for the flag. I am trying to get an ice cream myself. I hope I can get mine a healthy looking as yours. That picture you have posted there is beautiful.

dablo93 · 08-11-2008, 04:59 PM

wow, beauitufl plant!
I wish they grow here so great like in your tropical climate!

dablo93 · 08-11-2008, 05:00 PM

a question: how much leaves/leafs is it growing in one week?

island cassie · 08-11-2008, 05:19 PM

Dablo - I don't know because there are so many of them. I will try to keep a record for you.

Cassie

island cassie · 08-13-2008, 11:35 AM

Dablo - as far as I can tell, they each get a new leaf every 5 days.

The monster is now so big that I can't get a picture of it in it's entireity because of its location - but measuring around the main pstem 12 inches above the ground (too many pups to get lower) it measures 38 inches! No flag, even though I check each day (as a banana fiend should!). It is now much bigger than the large orinoco, and the entertainment value while waiting is enormous!!

Casey, how much leaves produced it the last month?

Haha! Pauly - you make me laugh!

I can't tell about the number of leaves because it is above the roof of the house, and with 5 pups with 12ft of pstem and 2 more with about 7ft, it is one big heap of leaves, but it seems to be about 1 leaf each a week. The leaf petioles seem to be a bit weaker than other types, and when it gets windy (Ike and his pals) they bend next to the stem, so I have had to cut some off even tho' they were green.
