Looks like it's moving right along

Re: My Red kru growth
 

I donot know much about these myself I didnot even know it was rare. I saw one up for auction one time here on the org .I heard they donot like the cold very well.

Greg i see some color in the p-stem , looking nice ! i just found a small pup on mine this afternoon i'll post a pic , at least i'm 90 percent sure it's a pup.

Re: My Red kru growth
 

I have a musa kru and is more green than red,while the p-stem is green the leaves underneath have a faint red, there are a few qestions i would like to ask about musa kru.


1 Does this nana get red-er with heat,and direct light

2 why is it every time you sea musa kru,it looks completely different,as the one on this thread has a few red splashes on the leaves.

3 Are nurseries actually selling kru,or something else to customers.

Re: My Red kru growth
 

1.with better growing conditions yes that seems to be the reason, also as the plant matures.

2. good question i know what you mean i have seen 2 or 3 other peoples kru's that are green with maybe 1 faint mark of red. perhaps their's may take longer or different growing conditions. or possibly it's a green Kru with no red..

3. hard to say perhaps they can get their hands on the green kru easier then the red. if you buy from the right place im sure they are selling a kru.

Here's mine

Thanks Matt

Now all we need to know,is there two varieties of this nana red kru,or green kru with a hint of red.

Very nice Tony.

I got mine from Tony his looks red not sure if mine came from the one he posted in the picture.

Well check out what it say about the red and green kru

Re: My Red kru growth
 

yours is amazing Rmplmnz, is that one fruiting now or was it a previous one? great pics thanks for sharing !

Re: My Red kru growth
 

Thanks Matt!

Unfortunately a previous one...no fruit on the horizon...

One would be hard pressed to find a better tasting banana than Kru.

Re: My Red kru growth
 

Could this be the green kru.

Re: My Red kru growth
 

I planted this Kru in April. It was one foot tall then, and has been growing like a weed! The stalk is now 3-1/2 feet tall, and the plant is 7-1/2 feet to leaf tip. The leaves have nice wine stains on both front and back. The picture doesn't show it very well, but the stalk is a striking burgundy color.

Re: My Red kru growth
 

Wow, after seeing those pic's I'm wondering if I actually have a manzano. I got it from greenearth, and it looks exactly like Rick's pic minus being able to see the p-stem color clearly. :^) I guess I'll have to post a pic of my Red Kru and a possible Red Kru (If so Ted's Fired). :^)

Re: My Red kru growth
 

Here's mine! Pretty red stem!

Re: My Red kru growth
 

Kaczercat, it's been 13 days now. Was that really a pup on your Red Kru banana plant? Is there any chance of seeing some more photos? The suspense is killing me! :D
I really like those Red Kru banana plants but... I did myself a favor [and the plant] by ordering something easier to grow... for now. :D
