8 Hands bottom 2 look a little burnt.. so I rewrapped w/ heat-tape and wrapped the banana's to keep the cold out.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Well I'd say we have a greater portion of Winter behind us and I still have 3 hands in fine shape.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Nice work protecting those naners. :goteam:

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

I can say my Banana's have made it intact as seen in the pic above.. The 2nd stem on this mat that wasn't heat-taped froze. It was fixing to flower.. I'm just glad I'll have some Banana's this year as bad as Winter was.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

My 2nd Raja Puri Mat main stem looks in fine shape after uncovering.. :^)

Congratulations
:woohoonaner:

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Great. I haven't had nice experiences with my rajapuri, but maybe it was just because it isn't a very good cultivar when it comes to cold bare-root storage.

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

i don't think most types are meant for that other than Orinoco & Basjoo..

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

My RP has been sitting in my garage for two months un potted and is still green. No water either. :08:

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Maybe its your Humidity that's helping it.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Raja Puri pups (4) pushing up the day after trimming all the frozen dead stuff off.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

I have not looked at my thermometer to see what it gets inside the garage when we hit in the 30's. I would say in the 40 range maybe more. Maybe just a more then hardy one :) My VC and GN arent happy looking and they are potted up. Hopefully will have my floor of the greenhouse down so I can get them out there.

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Raja Puri w/ 6 pups coming up.. The fruit shot isn't coming for a couple months at least.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Raja Puri now has 7 pups.. I like that.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Well now she has 9 pups coming up pretty fast after I fed them.. Here is a shot of a couple hands.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

I can see its going to be time to select which pups are staying real soon. Growth is over an 8 day period between top and pic in entry below.. There is 9 pups on this mat. I think its time to mix some dirt.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Well a week makes a difference even if it wasn't a really warm one.. Stem on the big pup on right is over 2' I'm going to have to expand this bed pronto, cause she's staying.. :^)

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Well I can say the pups are getting bigger, but see there is decline in the banana fingers, upon a closer look I think it is rotting on the top of the P-stem.

Re: Raja Puri (RP)
 

Flower is on a mat next to my garage.. Not where I over wintered the one's last winter.. :v)
