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

Re: What chores do you have planned for the weekend around your banana plants?
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! |

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

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

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

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