Looking fantastic Hector. I'm interested to see how long the rachis is going to be on Thousand Fingers. Love the coral pink/red petiole on iholena tigua.

Looks like Musa Ele Ele needs adding to the collection next year😁

as usual looking great banana doctor. found out one thing about my sumatrana's this last year, when they are small they do not do well in direct sunlight. I had to use 50 percent shade cloth which worked. I am thinking this coming year to move them in a more shady spot.

Master Beam,


Thank you for the awesome advice, suggestion!.....I will keep it into consideration to find the perfect spot when transplanting Musa Sumatrana X to the ground!.....Most likely bigger Nanas will provide shade for her!.....
