Jeff, that's what I was thinking. Right now it's fine cause we haven't gotten any rain, but when we get a good down poor it will pond up. I may just amend the soil a little I dug out and put back in. Thanks for all the advice.

Jeff is right on....def be careful with clay soil..not banana's friend.

Hey all,

The Ice Cream is starting to grow. I just noticed this today. Not all is lost. LOL!!!

I guess I did good doing surgery on it.

mskitty38583 · 06-30-2008, 04:05 PM

glad to see shes growing again.

Dean W. · 07-18-2008, 11:53 PM

Here's the Ice Cream today.

I finally got it planted in the ground. I found a place I feel comfortable with.

I know I have to give thanks twice. Once for getting the banana. Thanks Chris. The other for saving it.

I had an FHIA 17 that did the same thing. I cut it down to about 2-3" from the soil line and within 4 days it put up new growth. At six days it had about 4 1/2" of new stem coming up. Like Jon said, never give up until it is an empty hole in the ground. Actually, I got a bucket with a rotted corm of FHIA 23 in it, too. Now there are 2 new bananas growing out of the hole in the ground! Go figure, right?

Dean W. · 09-15-2008, 04:16 PM

Way to go, Scott! Yes, never give up hope on nanners.

Dean W. · 09-15-2008, 04:18 PM

Here it is last week.

I have found with mine, when I take the overwintering medium off the plants, I end up doing more harm than good when I cut away what I think is rotted. From now on, I plan on cutting nothing from a plant that looks like it has rot on it.

Really, I just had one corm i cut yesterday. It started looking like a little sucker was starting to form, but I wasn't sure.

Chironex · 09-15-2008, 08:48 PM

It looks great Dean! I know that I have learned my lesson. So far I have only lost 6 plants, but they were doomed from the start due to heat in transit. 1 Williams, 2 Dwarf Nam Wa Pearls (being replaced free), 2 Balbisianas that were just too small to survive the trip and a Grand Nain that I am trying to get to put out a leaf - if it does, then I will consider myself lucky. I have an African Red that is trying to make a comeback as well as a Gros Michel doing the same.

Hey Scot, ya I have a few too, that I'm worried about. It was cool today. Hopefully, they have enough time to grow some before the weather changes.
