What chores do you have planned for the weekend around your banana plants?

crazy banana · 05-25-2013, 12:47 AM

Anybody planning some specific weekend chores around your banana plants?
I am planning on getting more compost and mulch over my banana plants as growing season is definitely here.

pmurphy · 05-25-2013, 09:20 AM

I have to trim the winter damaged leaves from my basjoo now that they are pushing new leaves and check my Musella lasiocarpa, which already has 3 pups! And I have to prep the new bed for the m. "mekong giant", m. "gran nain" and m. sumatrana that will be arriving next week.
I also have to see what else I can do (if anything) for a very sick musa ??? I received because it was unwanted but the leaves are so wilted and yellow/brown that I have no idea what it is (I was told it was supposed to be a "red banana"). When I repotted it last weekend I think there were more ants and eggs than soil!
.........never a dull moment!

O Gosh, I still have to cut down some that have flowered with no leafs, and remove tons of pups. I would just love is someone would come over and dig out some or many pups and just take them home with them. LoL

wolfyhound · 05-25-2013, 02:56 PM

I need to weed around them, then I think I will put some mulch around the bases because it's already so very hot here and the leaves get so droopy during the hottest part of the day!

robguz24 · 05-25-2013, 07:04 PM

Enjoy the fact that it's raining and I won't have to water.

caliboy1994 · 05-27-2013, 08:41 PM

When I was home this weekend for Memorial Day I gave them fert and pruned them a bit. They're really starting to get going with the warm weather now. Interestingly enough, Raja Puri has recovered the quickest from winter conditions, but during the winter it seems to suffer a bit more than my Namwah. My other bananas are starting to get going, albeit a bit more slowly. Mysore still is showing BSV symptoms, so I plan on getting rid of it and replacing it with Pisang Klotek.

This week I might try to get Pisang Ceylon planted up in Santa Clara, or maybe next week.

If I remember it right, your Raja Puri was fruiting. How is the fruit coming along?

momoese · 05-28-2013, 12:29 AM

Planting greens under the canopy

crazy banana · 06-14-2013, 11:28 PM

Unfortunately, I lost the fruit with the winter cold. But I should be getting another flower or two from that mat within a month or two.

Sorry to hear that. With warmer weather coming up, your chances of getting more flowers and fruits are good. Good luck!
