Excuse me if this has already been explained. But what is the tape for? To keep the leaves from falling?

The green garden tape it's just to hold a small brace.......As Tu'u Ghia has been growing, I removed a bigger bamboo stick brace that I had before!....Now I just have this small wood brace stake it to the ground, using a piece of very thick electrical cord!....I'm using this small brace to keep Tu'u Ghia in place, straight up, so she doesn't lean to one side as before!....Eventually, I will remove the brace, until Tu'u Ghia gets much bigger, stronger!.....

Per the first study, Kandrian with 826 days harvest cycling time has a harvest index (HI) twice Namwa! That doesn't seem accurate but I'm not familiar with Kandrian bunch size. Are they 2-3x Namwa?

Good stuff and great photos!

Great to see (Red kru) putting out its first leaf, it's my favourite banana plant, well done.Rest of the bananas are looking great, can't wait until you fruit these and we see the pictures.

Mushtaq,



Thank you buddy!.....I know it's your favorite Nana Variety (Mr. Red Kru)!......LOL!.....Has been mentioned before that Musa Red Kru is one of the hardest Nana Varieties to grow!.....And it's completely right!.....

I will keep Red Kru at my house balcony, to let her grow bigger, stronger until next spring time, then to the ground!.....
