Thousand fingers blooming!! - Page 5

island cassie · 10-24-2009, 10:09 AM

I have just measured the bunch, and it is 6ft 2inches long, and the bud is 3ft 6inches from the ground. Will it make it - I should have made this a competition!

No probs!!!

Dalmatiansoap · 10-24-2009, 02:31 PM

WOW!!!
That is realy something.

Bob · 10-24-2009, 02:39 PM

That is one incredible bunch Island Cassie! Is that the pup at the bottom of the pic?

The Hollyberry Lady · 10-24-2009, 02:49 PM

OMG ~ I think I just fainted!

: O

That is just FABULOUSLY FANTASTIC!

I wanna come to your house for banana creme pie!

island cassie · 10-24-2009, 03:35 PM

Bob - the one behind the bud is a Dwarf Orinoco, and the one to the right leaning over is a Ladyfinger that needs a support desperately. They all lean towards the house so I try to limit the pups to the side away from there.

Can you eat all the bananas on it Island cassie,as the ones on the bottom look tiny compared to the top.

island cassie · 10-25-2009, 12:52 AM

They are pretty small but they do decrease in size as they go down. This is the first bunch, so I'll find out sometime if they are all edible.

island cassie · 11-07-2009, 03:50 PM

The thousand fingers is slowing down and the tip of the bud is now 3ft from the ground. I don't think it will keep going much longer as all the leaves are looking brownish and tattered, probably exhausted by the effort. Someone suggested a foliar feed to help it along - what do you think? I don't think mine will start to ripen on the plant as they are all very green - the top round ones are plumping but the bottom spiral ones are tiny. I feel the end is nigh!

LilRaverBoi · 11-07-2009, 05:26 PM

It's almost like TF has some sort of weird cancer gene and the raceme is just a big tumor....that keeps growing and growing with no 'stop signal.' Such a crazy anomaly of the banana world! Thanks for the pics!

Eric · 11-07-2009, 05:33 PM

Get those nanners some steroids Quick!!

Totally Awesome Deluxe!!

supermario · 11-07-2009, 06:08 PM

Maybe you could try cutting some of the plump ones off to see if they ripen properly... just a guess though. Amazing plant!!

sandy0225 · 11-07-2009, 06:24 PM

That is so cool. I just had ordered 18 plants of the thousand fingers last week before I'd even seen this post. I think after seeing this I have to keep one for me and not sell every one of them! That would be a very cool one fruiting in a pot...

island cassie · 11-08-2009, 12:43 AM

Keep one Sandy!! They are the best fun!

moonboy87 · 11-08-2009, 12:52 AM

Oh my god. That is some dangerous stuff right there. Makes me want to move to central america and live off of bananas. Goodness gracious, you should have a banana eating contest! This just seems...epic. You truly are blessed!

island cassie · 11-08-2009, 03:20 AM

Thanks Miles - but the fingers are tiny - you couldn't live off them! I was hoping that the top ones would yellow up so that I could cut them off and start counting. The thought of counting the whole raceme is so daunting that I can hardly think of it - have to get friends in to help!!

bikoro child · 11-08-2009, 05:41 AM

thanks for that incredible thread and such amazing pics?that shows why we all are addicts in bananas!!!

Abnshrek · 11-08-2009, 10:29 AM

I think the pic is awesome.. I am just wonrdering how tall the Banana is itself.. Lord knows how many bananas are on it. Looks like more than a 1000.. :^)
