and what ?

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

I'm surprised you didn't see the chopped pup that's pushing out Tony..

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

:{ Man I wished I could get my hands on a Veinte Cohol pup to plant and nurture down here in Lizard Creek, La.

Would make a seasoned citizen smile foe show:}:08:

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

You would have to bring it in during the winter, they don't like weather in the 40's..

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Aw man I see:{ I have a girlfriend cold natured like DAT too:}

Never, mind! lol

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

I just added a Veinte Cohol pup to my collection. I'm hoping it does well.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

If you can bring it indoors over winter house/greenhouse.You'll be glad you did

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

I don't have anywhere inside to bring it. I don't get any frost at my place, but it does get into the lower 40's. Hopefully that doesn't hurt it too much.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Cut this pup on purpose to get some corm assisted growth. Should fruit a lil lower.. I potted a lil one too, a crapload of roots. Mycorrhizae Fungi definitely doing its job.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Another nice one Amigo!
:nanadrink:

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Wha Lah.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Awesome! How long did it take and how large was your plant you got? Mine was a small plant from Logees but nice and healthy,it's nice and thick and three tall now a few months later. It's kinda shaded under the other large mats around it.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Just over 12 months..

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Update us with pics as the weeks go on :08:

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Beautiful, just beautiful. So now will they avoid the cold? Christmas banana cream pie?:lurk:

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Wow, fattening up already? Talk about fast.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Looks very happy with the way you are treating it. More hands and fingers than I've usually seen in pictures of this variety.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Man that VC really throw a flower and pushed out the fruit quick in under a month. My I think dwarf Orinoco has had fruit hanging for a month about 3 dozen,and they haven't put anymore size on for a few weeks?

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Never mind just read dwarf have smaller fruit.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

That's amazing! From closed bloom on 8-18 to fingers filled (and turning yellow?) not even a month later on 9-12?

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Glad you noticed that.. They are getting lighter.. I'm fixing to bag them.. I guess my Banana Crack is doing good. Of course its a combination of all the tips I've gotten on here, and probably the most input from Dan, but Steve hooked me up with the plants, I can only say Thanks once again. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Damn Michael. I give you a pup last year and yours is blooming and mine is doing nothing. Of course, I didn't protect it last winter and I've totally neglected it this summer so I guess it's my fault. Great job. Tell me about the taste when you harvest.

Steve

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Will do, and Thanks.. I have 2 monster pups that will follow in the spring most likely.. One's going to hang out w/ Old folks' in a rehab facility come the end of the month.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Hope they taste better than the report from the greenhouse winter ones reported a few years ago (from Dan?). Thanks for the nice series of updates.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Me too since they only have 2 more weeks or so to hang.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

You'll be in the 40's in two weeks! Yikes!

Could be a month or more here.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

I'm not worried they redid the forecast, and it was high 40's, and high's in the 80's.. no effect.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Looking awesome Michael!!! Wish you a great harvest of sweet bananas! After all,they shouldn't belong to the Sucrier subgroup for nothing! Niño is a personal favorite from all(few) varieties I have tried,so this one should be pretty great too I think! :)

Well I'll try them at various stages and see how I like them best.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Plant on the Right is my VC I got from Steve, pic is from 071712



Here is the VC 3 months later



I think its a great plant for people who can store properly over winter and gives them a good shot of growing banana's in a marginal area's such as 7a-8a where it gets very warm in the summer, and into the fall. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Hey Harvey whatever happened w/ yours?

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Mine all died. :( I had one flower very late in the year and they never developed and that entire mat froze to death. My greenhouse was too crowded and I was hoping that at least one would survive the winter but they proved to be very susceptible to cold weather.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Man that had to suck beyond words..

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

From the Patio..



to the Kitchen.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

I still have another month to month and a half before I'll have to start hangin mine in the house.

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

So from Flower (this one is out 18 Aug 2013)..



To Hanging.. 2 Months and almost a week.. :^)



Taste report to follow I believe..

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

Hanging for one Day.. :^)

Re: Veinte Cohol
 

So here we go... Not fully ripe, I'm sure them peels have some more flavor in them for the nanners.. Started on the tart side and finished w/ a citrus flavor.. Not mealy, or soft like an orinoco, but not a treasure like a Manzano. Like I said not completely there but still better than a Cavendish.. :^)



Peel is thin but surely has more for the nanners since the ends are still green.
