Thousand fingers blooming!! - Page 6

conejov · 11-08-2009, 10:48 AM

Wow it really is true... Thousand fingers are real!!!!

supermario · 11-08-2009, 10:49 AM

The first bunch of bananas I ever harvested never turned yellow on the tree. The bunch actually broke away from the tree and I found it on the floor one morning. I seperated the bananas into groups of 4-6 and placed them in boxes lined with plastic. They ripened perfectly in a few days..

That is why I suggested cutting a few of the plump ones off and seeing if they ripen. Doing this will probably assist the plant in plumping up the remaining bananas since it has less bananas to worry about.

Im no expert though, so it's just a guess.

island cassie · 11-08-2009, 11:47 AM

I see where you are coming from Mario - but I hate to mutilate the bunch as it is the first and so beautiful! I have ripened others from green when necessary and might have to do that with this bunch if the mother plant fails, but I really want to see a yellow finger so I will keep waiting. Nothing like fruit ripened on the plant!

If we get the house we are trying to buy (on 3 acres) I just might have to buy one of these from you in the spring!

island cassie · 11-11-2009, 03:25 PM

During my usual plant patrol I noticed this - they weren't yellow at all yesterday!

I think I will count them as I cut the ripe ones off the bunch - so this could take some time!! And I will wait a few more days until they are really ripe.

Dalmatiansoap · 11-11-2009, 04:06 PM

Haha, I just knewed that U ll have to count them once

LilRaverBoi · 11-11-2009, 07:02 PM

We should take some sort of wager on how many fruit are on there. There doesn't have to be a prize, I just think it'd be fun!

Abnshrek · 11-11-2009, 08:59 PM

Looks like 1576 to me :^)

island cassie · 11-11-2009, 09:26 PM

OK - if you are happy to have a contest with no prize - start now as I have not cut any fingers! As long as Jarred agrees! When do I stop counting as I can't think that they are all going to ripen -when the last finger turns yellow before the stalk turns black? Haha! we are all in unknown territory here!

LilRaverBoi · 11-11-2009, 09:51 PM

Um....I'm gonna say 1623. Also, can we do 'Price is Right' rules and if you go over, you lose automatically? LOL

kaczercat · 11-11-2009, 09:57 PM

well Cassie you have done a wonderful job parenting this plant since it was only 3 ft till it's flowered,. Looks like the most amazing nanna plant i've ever seen . thanks a million for posting all the pics. My best guess would have to be 1349. come on people lets see some guessing

.

island cassie · 11-11-2009, 09:57 PM

OK - if you go over you lose!

island cassie · 11-11-2009, 10:01 PM

Help computer people - how do I get a list going?
Abnshrek 1576
LilRaverBoi - 1623
Me - I'm not saying!
Kaczercat - 1349

kaczercat · 11-11-2009, 10:04 PM

wait for a lot more people to give their bid or guess. and then once you have them all put them like you have just there name and # beside?

LilRaverBoi · 11-11-2009, 10:04 PM

Well, just start the list somewhere and keep editing the post as new guesses are made. That's really all you need to know.

island cassie · 11-12-2009, 08:06 PM

I had better check with Jarred as I see that the rules state that the contest must be approved, and that a prize must be announced!

sunfish · 11-12-2009, 08:23 PM

1000 fingers

Anyway, WOW

Just started eating the first fruit and they are amazingly good - sweet apple with almost a touch of peach to them - pity they are only the size of an extra large peanut when peeled!!

Dalmatiansoap · 11-19-2009, 01:12 PM

Haha, I just knew that!!

Great news Cassie
