Not sure if it's you or me, but I don't see any pics...

Re: The Noobs Naners
Man, I'm such a tool. It looks like this was a result of my decision to make the photo album private. I thought it was okay since my post preview looked okay. Let me know if my pics didn't load. Sorry about that!

Re: The Noobs Naners
Awesome! You really should have snagged a Pisang Klotek from Mitchel as well. I hear they're excellent.
Also, your Raja Puri does not look like a Raja Puri. But to me your Ice Cream is certainly not a Namwah. |
Re: The Noobs Naners
Thanks Andreas...interesting about my "Raja Puri". I'll try to post more pics of that one to get some sort of positive ID on it. I got it from Armstrong about a year ago and assumed the tag was correct.

Re: The Noobs Naners
You have to be really careful. My Raja Puri was originally labeled "Ice Cream." Mine is a bit on the short side (5'6"-ish of p-stem at last bloom height), but here are a few pics of it.
Hopefully this helps. :) |
Re: The Noobs Naners
Yellowish blotchy p-stem, looks like real Ice Cream to me. Agree on the PK recommendation. As it sounds like virtually a Mysore without BSV, one of the more beautiful and tasty bananas.
In Northern CA at the moment and was jealous to find Goldfinger at CVS. Can't find them anywhere in Hawaii. If you can score one of those too, worth trying. |

Re: The Noobs Naners
Thanks for the ID/confirmation on the Blue Java, Rob. I might have to check out my local CVS now...not that I have any space to put anything right now.
Andreas, thanks for posting the pics. My "Raja Puri" is probably at about 6' of pseudostem right now. Here's more pics of my potentially mislabeled Raja Puri (pardon the weeds): |
Re: The Noobs Naners
It looked larger than 6' from the original picture, and that's where my suspicions originally arose. But 6' does actually sound about right. The petioles on yours are similar to mine. It appears that your plant is just a lot more slender than mine for some reason; mine tends to be stout and stays short. It definitely looks like a Raja Puri, growth habit aside.

Re: The Noobs Naners
What is this mention of CVS and bananas? Does your local CVS sell plants?! What the heck, some folks get all the luck.

Re: The Noobs Naners
Andreas, I just took another look at my pics and I can see how the wrong impression was given. It actually sits on a rise next to the neighbor's garage in that pic, and with no ground reference, it appears taller than it actually is. Thanks for taking a closer look for me.
@Lemmysports - don't get too jealous. I can't speak for what Rob is seeing, but my CVSs carry really small plants. It's been a while since I've seen anything at mine, but I do recall seeing a banana plant of some sort ~5 years ago at my local store. I didn't pay it much mind, but it was a very small specimen. |

So I wouldn't say look for Goldfinger at CVS, but since I saw it there, perhaps the supplier is supplying other nurseries in the state. |
