Re: Musa French Red
 

This is definitely worth growing even if you don't want the 60 lb. of fruit. :08:

Re: Musa French Red
 

Yup definitely agree. Now just need to find some way to get one ;-)

Re: Musa French Red
 

Hello PR;

How are the FR Doing ?, Any Pups For Sale ?
Thanks Ed

Re: Musa French Red
 

They're doing great but we're probably not going to be distributing any this year.

We'll be needing all the pups to cover the area that was set aside for the FHIA-21.

The FHIA-21 is a great backyard banana but not good enough for market sales here.

Re: Musa French Red
 

Please let me know when one becomes available even a water-Sucker :08:

This plant makes me want to move to a tropical place just so I could grow it.

Re: Musa French Red
 

I was certainly impressed by the size of the bunch, but the inflorescence was incredibly tiny as it emerged. I didn't take or want any photos.

Ed, is this your first French-type and have you grown other types?

Re: Musa French Red
 

I wonder how cold tolerant it is? I have found that French plantains reward you if you manage the bunch, but are not marketable if you don't.

Re: Musa French Red
 

I tried growing ARH and PR Dwarf but for some reason they didn't do to well up here, I also remember planting a F-21 that i picked up at a Nursery somewhere in FL cant remember, I think i planted it in winter didn't do good , But the F-21 that i got from you have lots of Vigor also the French Red Is in the lead in its growth !..

I will be putting these Plantains to the test, will have to be next winter right now they are too young and they will go inside the Green house for this 2015 winter and planted in the spring of 2016, Just observing there vigor i have a good feeling about these plants i think i will be successful harvesting Plantains !
