Thank you. I guess it would need a pollinator, which of course, depending on what that was, would affect the nature of the progeny. Keep the pictures coming

No, Da Jiao is self fertile. Very cold hardy and good flavor bananas.

Gabe said mine is regular Orinoco. Unfortunately I can't post pictures here (can't resize them for forum). To me they tasted excellent and maybe I even let them to over ripe 2-3 days. You can send me mail address or WhatsApp contact in PM and I can send you pictures of fruit there.

They sound delicious. I just meant, in order for the fruit to contain seeds, it would need a pollinator. I have no doubt the fruit will fill out with or without another flowering banana plant around. Definitely keep us posted on its progress

I will add it to my bookmarks. At the moment I really don't need more plants lol, but one never knows what will happen during winter. At this moment nr.1 plant at my place is D. Brazilian I got from Nelio, blooming at the moment, I'll try to grow more from it. Also have some from BAM Madeira, Manzano and Prata Ana, will see how will they handle our winter.

I have C. Champa and it's doing good. Hajaray was a good for me but I made some beginner mistakes and lost it. Saba is just to tall, no way it could stand our winds.

Hi. I'm feeding my banana tree with 10-10-10 NPK fertilizer... there are another one better?

This is what I have used with no issues.
Due to my growing zone I grow for foliage and size and if I get a flower it is a bonus.


General granular fertilizers I use for growth and size.

General purpose Triple 10 through 19 all work well and there are some forum members that use this for their bananas in the growth stage.

I do use generic water soluble fertilizers like Miracle grow(24-8-16) also.

These two fertilizers are to be used with caution and understanding that plant death will occur is misused.
46-0-0 urea for color enhancement and size.
21-0-0 ammonium sulfate for color enhancement and size.

All above fertilizers work very well for landscape plantings and general lawns feeding also.

Fellas on the forum frequently use a 16-8-24 (or close)ratio for fruiting bananas.

https://www.amazon.com/Banana-Fertil.../dp/B07HDTVRG2


There are also some good threads about fertilizer use and what brands and ratios to use for fruiting bananas on the forum.
