Ooverwintered inside dwarf cavendish flowering - Page 3

Good. We heat the basement with hydronic radiant tubing in the floor. Toasty warm.

sputinc7 · 06-08-2016, 12:21 AM

So, how they lookin' now? What is the final count on the cav bunch?

scottu · 06-08-2016, 06:34 PM

Well we have 67 bananas that look like they will fill out plus another 60 or so that are progressively smaller and smaller so still not sure officially.

Leaves are still slowly turning yellow and they seem to be curling under on the edges.
Not sure what the problem is, can't be the rain, sun or temp.

basjoo bud is huge!

sputinc7 · 06-08-2016, 07:58 PM

Looks real good, all things considered. Given the time of year, they just might make good. Glad for you.

Myself, if it's done makin good ones, I would cut off the bud so more power goes to the nanners. Not everyone agrees on this point, but I would.

Bananas update

The Cavendish does not look a lot different, filling a little.

basjoo is growing........... and another flag leaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sputinc7 · 06-20-2016, 08:52 AM

I would cut the bud off. More power for the bunch, and with the lack of many leaves, every bit counts. My opinion.

scottu · 06-20-2016, 11:28 AM

it's too pretty to cut off. It grows right in front of where I park, so cool!!!

Kat2 · 06-20-2016, 11:59 AM

I cut mine off because some idiot planted a banana right in front of the hose bib and I stupidly kept clunking myself on the head when I needed to water. If I forget to duck, I still get clocked--developing fingers are not very soft.

I don't blame you. Looks great!! I bet everyone that sees it is amazed. I don't cut mine off either. Research I have read shows no real difference. Mine are all out of the way and don't bother anything so I let them do their thing.

Great looking bunch!!

scottu · 07-04-2016, 11:03 AM

Well it's been two weeks

barbc · 07-04-2016, 01:15 PM

They look so happy!

kaczercat · 11-11-2016, 09:42 AM

any updates?? how did they turn out?

scottu · 11-11-2016, 08:24 PM

They hung in there for most of the summer but they never filled out and eventually turned black.
I could have over watered or ?. So... you finally get a healthy plant to flower, with plenty of leaves, in the early summer and the fruit hangs out for months and then rots, very disheartening but,
the many days that i came home to that beautiful flower and fruit made it so worthwhile!! One day we will get it right!
Thanks for asking!
