Lots of Raja Puri blooming

sbl · 07-24-2012, 06:47 AM

I haven't posted here in a while, I lost my last big Raji Puri bloom to a hard winter a couple yrs ago--as well as most of my not too hardy varieties, but last winter was mild and I now have 3 Raji Puri plants blooming--one actually started in early June. I do still have Orinocos and Ice Cream that survived the hard winter of 09/10.

Is really good to see you back posting and I'm glad you RP are blooming. I still have my RP I got from you. I noticed today that I have another plant fixing to bloom. I am not sure exactly what this one is but may be a Goldfinger.

Having spoken with you I am aware that your Ice Cream came from Just Bananas so I'm hoping that yours may be the real deal. I believe that mine is a Tall Namwah.

I will get some pics--mayb Friday.

I read about the discussion on Ice Cream bananas not being Ice Cream--the one I have made it thru the 2010 winter (low 20s) inground--the stem died but the new stems made it thru 2011--maybe they will bloom later this yr and we can get an ID.

You know I live very close and I saw 18 twice the winter of 2010. I can't imagine that you were warmer. My temps were digital meter that records the low temp.
