What did you plant today (bananas)? - Page 43

Bob · 04-17-2010, 04:10 PM

Ok so it's way too early to be planting bananas outdoors in New Jersey right now but... I had to get my bananas out of the rented greenhouse to make room for the owners stock. No problem ... I put all the others in my hoop house and have a heater for it if neccesary... which I doubt since it's only been getting to the mid 40's for the most part and only for a short while near dawn. My ice cream banana though which was 8 1/2 ft( p- stem height) with a 6 ft pup was cut down to 6 ft and is back up to 7 with some new leaves growing already so.... I mulched it heavily around the base and wrapped it in plastic... on the warm sunny days I'll open the top to vent and close it back up at night for a few weeks....

It Is FREE!!!
Finally

Almost at blooming hight, ha?

Bob · 04-17-2010, 04:37 PM

Hey Ante... when I got it it had been 7' and cut down to 3 1/2 to ship it to me. It grew to 8/12 ft ( p-stem height) last year so...theoretically its as old as a 12' plant. I'm really hoping for a flower this year... Wish me luck!

Dalmatiansoap · 04-17-2010, 04:41 PM

Good luck Bob!
ŽIVIO!

Bob · 04-17-2010, 04:50 PM

We'll share a toast that day my friend!

Caloosamusa · 04-26-2010, 08:36 PM

Today I planted a Thai Black.

Has anyone any knowledge of any botanical description papers on Thai Black? Is it really Musa balbisiana or some other Musa species?

Caloosamusa · 04-28-2010, 05:56 PM

Today I planted two Kandarians!

Dalmatiansoap · 04-30-2010, 02:32 PM

Double Mahoi and Velutina

Dean W. · 04-30-2010, 06:52 PM

Ensete glacum seeds

harveyc · 05-01-2010, 12:05 AM

I'm moving some bananas around to make room for other things and get more sun to some of my bananas that have been encroached upon by trees. Today I dug up a California Gold that's about 5' tall and moved it into a spot which I amended heavily so it can grow more vigorously and, hopefully, flower for me in a couple of months. It had a decent-size pup on it which I potted up. Can't decide if I'll sell it with these good prices they've been going for or if I'll keep it as a back-up.

Tomorrow I'll move a San Jose which is about 5.5'-6' tall.

kaczercat · 05-02-2010, 03:53 PM

well today it was 75 f here wer're getting more and more of those kinda days now. anyway today i planted my orinoco in the ground and i also found some castor bean seeds. so i gragged them and rushed home and planted 3 of em in the garden.

saltydad · 05-02-2010, 04:59 PM

Today my E. glaucum, M. Siam Ruby, M. ornata bronze, M. lasiocarpa, M. zebrina,, M. orinoco, M. sikkimensis, M. velutina, M. dwarf cavendish all were planted, along with some castor bean seedlings, cannas, and other assorted odds and ends.

palmtree · 05-02-2010, 07:42 PM

Today was amazing here. Truly summer like. The humidity was in the 80% range and temperatures rose into the upper 80s. It is dark now but still very warm and humid with temps around 80. I planted lots of cannas today and some mexican petunias yesterday (very large ones) and also cleaned up a little. Tommorrow has some thunderstorms in the forecast, but I would like to get even more things planted.

Abnshrek · 05-02-2010, 08:21 PM

Today I planted a Dwarf Namwah :^)

cherokee_greg · 05-02-2010, 10:29 PM

I picked these unmarks at the grocery store 4.00 bucks each

Hey, same here. But when I finished planting (which included the above noted naners, but also about 10 other plants I got at a garden club swap this morning), I then go in to cool off and clean up, and the central a/c is broken. My upstairs is like an oven. I may sleep in the basement rec room.

harveyc · 05-03-2010, 09:08 PM

Today I planted a Hy Brazilian that had spent the winter in my greenhouse and had been in a 15 gallon pot. Twin pseudostems are reportedly common for this variety. I don't know how tall it typically fruits at.

Abnshrek · 05-05-2010, 01:24 PM

Vente Cohol & Pineapple banana :^)

Bob · 05-05-2010, 04:26 PM

Here's my driveway bed.. doesn't look like much now. The Ensete Maurelii and Plumeria were overwintered dormant in root cellar , the E. Glaucum ( from seed ) overwintered on the porch .. theres also several Alocasia x Calidora corms a pineapple sage a cow parsnip and some passiflora on the fence.. should look nice here by July:

Heres the main banana bed with an large Ice Cream , 3 Ca. Gold, Dwarf nam Wah, Veinte Cohol, Kandrian, Gros Michel , Raja Puri and a couple of Ca. Cold Hardy.. I have a lot of hope for these:

Last here's the"Lucky Banana" I won in Momoese's contest along with a couple of windmill and Needle palms that overwintered outdoors. The Trachycarpus burned at the tips but should flush out soon with the warm weather we've been having:
