It's completely normal, you used the height from 2 months ago. 5' in 11 months It was an 11' pup, so I had to planted it a foot deeper for support. 6' in 11 months Because it was an 11' pup transplanted with no roots, it took about 3 months to push. 6' in 8 months As it get closer to bloom and starts stacking leaves, height slows but adds more girth. Plus it's a slow growing cultivar, with that said, this is the largest banana plant I've ever grown. This plant is huge. I don't normally move 11' pups, so I don't know what to expect for bunch size. |

Re: Musa Verdin
This local favorite is going to be an incredibly big beautiful bunch.
The size is just amazing, this will be well over 55 lb, and the only soil amendments were some charcoal and grass clippings, no fertilizer was needed or used. It's even more impressive when compared it to the local United States Tropical Agricultural Research Station's average of 25 lb using drip irrigation with soluble 20-20-20+ micros and Osmocote slow release 19-16-12. |
