What did you plant today (bananas)? - Page 22

Lagniappe · 08-09-2008, 01:37 PM

20+ E. Maurelii !
They ranged from 8" to 3' in size . The root systems seemed small but they had some corm already so...fingers crossed .

Dean W. · 08-09-2008, 01:45 PM

Pete, wow 20+ Ensetes! Did you start them all from seed? Were they in a community pot? I ask because I have some I need to seperate.

Lagniappe · 08-09-2008, 01:52 PM

I chopped a corm last winter and left the lil plantlets to grow on till they got 2' or so and toppled . By then they had seperated from the corm and had thier own roots . I transplanted them into two big pots and grew em to this size. Some were shading the others so I planted the larger ones from one of my pots and replanted the smaller ones into the same pot. I'll plant them in thier own lil pots next time because I had a tangled mess to deal with today and lost a lot of roots .

The common supermarket banana is cavendish. They are picked very green, thus not as sweet as plant ripened fruits.
