thousand fingers?
I saw this picture on internet, on a palm forum and I wanted to share it with you guys!
just look how amazing big that bunch is!:woohoonaner: this pic is coming from the palmtalk, am I allowed to post it here? |
Re: thousand fingers?
Is it for real? Like WOW!

Re: thousand fingers?
Yes, that is Thousand Fingers, great photo!
I shipped two of these plants out this week to members here. |
Re: thousand fingers?
One of them will be coming to me if it makes it through customs etc! And I can't wait! Jarred says it takes a couple of generations to get the really big bunches, but what a knockout - worth waiting for. I am going to plant it where it can be seen from the road, but not too close - exhibitionist or what!!! And I am going to feed that plant like there is no tomorrow.
Thanks for the pic - just adds to the torture really! Cassie |
Re: thousand fingers?
Yeah, those are cool. I'd like to start collecting some of the odder types like that one, Pitogo, Praying Hands, etc. Unfortunately, I just don't have the room as I'm already growing 20 different types of bananas on about 1/4" acre, in addition to all of my other plants. If my Dw. Cavendish doesn't do well this year, I may replace it with one of those.

Re: thousand fingers?
Just going on what I have read here and at MGIS, I chose 1000 Fingers over Pitogo for fruit quality and taste, not to mention production! What is the experience of those growing both Pitogo and 1000 Fingers?

Re: thousand fingers?
I'd be happy to have either one. One one "hand" (yes, pun intended) 'Thousand Fingers' is just mind-blowing to look at, but on the other I really like the novelty of the rounded fruit of 'Pitogo'. I wouldn't turn down either one if anyone has one they'd like to trade for any of my pups. Feel free to check my profile for my list of bananas.

Chong will educate us all in the fact that Saba, Praying Hands and Pitoga are very similar in taste (and shape...all have "oblong" pseudostems).... [IMG][/IMG] |
Re: thousand fingers?
Rmplmnz,
Don't forget about me if you ever get a spare pup of Pitogo! I think last time we spoke you didn't have any pups. That's OK, I'm patient! |

I have heard..that many different bananas are referred to as Saba in the Philippines....Chong can expand on this much better....than a young buck from Tampa.... :bananas_b |

Right now I have very few pups (it was a tough winter)..but alas we are 5" above normal for YTD rainfall...so hopefully we will have pups a plenty and I can get some more corms your way (still holding your dwarf Brazilian). The rainfall is great...but I am a little nervous as the last time we had above average rainfall (2004) we had 8 hurricanes (that actually made landfall in Florida) in two years.

I have a freshly repotted 1000 Fingers pup if you are interested, and I'm looking for African Rhino Horn. :D

Are you wanting to trade for an ARH? Because I don't have that one. |
