Re: My first Banana plant!!!
That's plant is fantastic. Maybe its just an artifact of the photo but I really like how long the leaves/petioles look relative to the height of the plant. Very nice.

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
I just got one hill banana from Himachal Pradesh (Himalayan Mountain) and one Musa x Fruit that is a cold hardy, fast growing and 2,5m banana variety.

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
Regarding my new musa varieties, they are from a french nursey where i got my Da Jiao. They are a great reliable source. I will post what they have there:
Musa 'himalayan mountain'®: This variety of banana was discovered in Himachal Pradesh at altitude (1750 m) in the middle of the Himalayas (North India). It produces edible bananas with a mild flavor. We are proud to offer it to you and to produce it in our nursery. The himalayan mountain® musa is larger than its cousin himalayan fruit®. It is similar in its thick, pruinose foliage under the foliage and on the trunk. [Musa 'himalayan mountain'® (bananier fruitier)* - Pépinière Ecologique La Maison du Bananier](https://www.lamaisondubananier.com/b...-fruitier.html) Musa x fruit®: New variety developed by our nursery, musa x fruit is a very promising variety for its hardiness and rapid fruiting, proven with the last winters. It is quite close to dajiao and Himalayan fruit®, the foliage is more erect and slightly embossed, green under the lower and upper side. Its average height is 2.5 meters. Like many fruit varieties, the pseudostem is pruinose. [Musa x fruit®* (Bananier fruitier) - Pépinière Ecologique La Maison du Bananier](https://www.lamaisondubananier.com/b...-fruitier.html)

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
The fruit is tasty.🥭 Pawpaw is native woodland tree in Ohio,USA. It is also Ohio's designated native fruit. While I do not grow them in the yard I always know where a tree or two are. The fruit is amazing when you can find a tree in the woods....I always try to pick a few. https://ohiopawpaw.com |
