Sothern CA Plantain advice wanted
I've done some searches here, but haven't found a good answer to this question:
I live in central San Diego (Zone 10) I'd like to grow edible Plantains (ok, my WIFE is Plantain Crazy  ). What cultivar grows well in our clay, alkaline soil? (or do I dig a BIG hole?) Average rainfall here is ~12 inches (although we have 1/2 that this year). Would accumulation of salts from irrigation water be a concern? Thanks! |

Re: Sothern CA Plantain advice wanted
Hate to see a thread go unresponded...
If I lived out there, I would make some recommendations for you, John! I can suggest to you, though, if you did decide to go out there and dig dig dig yourself a big planting hole till you got down to sand (hopfully), then backfilled with good soil and compost, you would have yourself larger heads of fruit. Guaranteed! It's a day's work, but a really long time to reap the harvests... Check out this plantain: http://www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_African_Rhino_Horn if you search around, they're out there for sale. Here is a list of other cooking bananas: http://www.bananas.org/wiki/Special:...search=cooking Regards, Jarred
