Manzano Bloom
Third bloom of the year. This time is a Manzano (suspected).
I misplaced the height and circumference of the tree but once I find it I will update. I got this tree from another local forum member at about 1 1/2 feet. I placed it in the ground last year in February. About 1 year 2 months to flowering. We had a much cooler winter well into February this year which a lot of my trees took some damage. 16 APR 20 APR You can see a few Orinoco hands in the background. 22 APR 27 APR That picture sucks, I will try to get another one today. |

Re: Manzano Bloom
Looks like a Namwah, based on the purple pedicels and shape of the bloom.

Re: Manzano Bloom
Some better photos with better lighting that show the new female fingers/flowers better would help. From what I see in the photos you've posted already, the female fingers have purple pedicels, the emerging bud is shaped like a football, and the petiole canals are mostly closed. If that is accurate, it is almost certainly a Pisang Awak ("Namwah") variety. Looks like one of the tall ones, such as "Ice Cream Namwah" or "Misi Luki Namwah".

Re: Manzano Bloom
Agree with Mark. It's a Namwah.

Yours looks like something in the Bluggoe subgroup. You probably noticed the purple pedicels on the female fingers on the top hand has faded in the Apr 27 photo. A Manzano only has purple pedicels on the bottom side of the female fingers and it will fade in about 18 hours. A Namwa has purple pedicels on the female fingers that will last 2 weeks. These are photos of the same Manzano & Namwa cultivars I sent you last year.
