Sumatrana x Gran Nain first flower
Well, now the mystery is solved. It really does produce fruit! To much cold weather and getting bumped for other naner clutivars kept this thing in limbo. Can't wait to see what the fruit is like.

Re: Sumatrana x Gran Nain first flower
Dan, that's a beautiful plant.
After waiting 7 years, I'd be expecting some fireworks when you peel it. What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Re: Sumatrana x Gran Nain first flower
KJ --- And it turns out it's cold tolerant. We haven't seen any temps in the 30's yet. Gave up growing naners with too much red - too tropical. They die quick in the mid 30's. Amazing thing is my area has been officially redesignated as USDA zone 10a from 9b.
The big fat rodent in PA didn't see his shadow so an early spring is forecast. We'll see. |

Re: Sumatrana x Gran Nain first flower
I used to say I never grew red skinned naners. Well it looks like I do now .
Compare these pics to the one in post #1 - green fingers. When the red started I thought the fruit was spoiling. Today I'm sure they're OK. Leaf coloration on pups. |
