New corms and Manini fruit!
 

I recently received some new corms ( Manini, French red, Patupi ) from Pr-Giants. These things are huge ( Almost as big as my giant head ). I have them all planted in coarse sand at the moment and will upload some photos as they progress. I made some tostones out of the manini fruit which were absolutely delicious. Tasted exactly like a french fry when they were salted. Thanks Keith!!!

Thanks for the kind words.

Just curious if you were able to ID that free FHIA-21 corm you got in the box yesterday.

Re: New corms and Manini fruit!
 

I actually just opened that box a few minutes ago. Things have been hectic at work lately and I haven't been home.
I did notice that they were two different varieties but I would never have guessed it was a FHIA-21 without being told. Your gift was very much appreciated and the quality/size of your corms is absolutely top notch. I would never hesitate to recommend you as a seller to any future buyers. Thank you very much Keith!

Re: New corms and Manini fruit!
 

About a month ago I saw the best Manini corm to date (it went to a member that doesn't post) and your last one was even better than that.

Could you let me know when your first Manini corm starts pushing leaves. The initial one I had picked out for you didn't fit in the box so I planted it and chose another but would like to compare push dates.

Thanks again.

Here's an update of the corms that I had received. The newest Manini and the FHIA-21 are really taking off compared to the others. The patupi is putting out new leaves and seems to be growing much faster within the past few days. I labeled all the corms by name and date that they were planted.

Re: New corms and Manini fruit!
 

Another update, The patupi is still in the lead and has a massive rootball below the sand line. The other corms are at a near stand still, I pulled the corms of the first Manini and the French red to check for roots/soft spots and didn't find any of either. I lightly watered the sand when I first added the corms to the sand and then again yesterday. Any suggestions?

Re: New corms and Manini fruit!
 

Patience my friend!...Give them sometime and you will see they will take off!...They will start growing roots in no time!....As you, I watered my corms every 5 to 6 days!...Coarse sand will hold the moisture well!....No need for frequently irrigation!...

Please check my thread "New Corms" for the latest update, pictures!....Most of my corms are trans-planted to the ground now!...Except the FHIA-1 "Real Deal" Goldfinger!...Is still in the really slow mode, but eventually will take off too, like the rest of the corms, growing some roots!.....

Good luck!....:bananarow:

Thanks Hector, I've been watching your thread daily and admired the progress that your corms have made. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. I'll be sure to keep updating as they grow.

Re: New corms and Manini fruit!
 

Pulled all the corms today and was pleasantly surprised to see that the corms had made some improvement since I last checked them. The second Manini and the Fhia-21 have put out a nice root system. The first Manini has developed one small root about an inch long and the French red appears to be starting to push out a small root. The patupi is continually pushing out new leaves and has a massive root ball. No leaves from any of the corms other than the Patupi as of yet. I'll post some photos during my next update.
