What did you plant today (bananas)? - Page 5

barna · 06-27-2007, 01:13 PM

This is the last Banana I planted in my garden a nice Musa basjoo 'Rubra'

It is not my best picture

but you can se the reddish stem and the red midrib.

I hope this form is as cold-hardy as the two other M. basjoo (regular and shakalin) that have survived winter in my garden

kgbenson · 06-27-2007, 01:35 PM

Tonight I will be planting the Califonia Gold pups I got from GATrops.

Thanks Richard!

I just finished planting two Musa Sikkimensis that I ordered thru mail order. I hope I have good luck with them for I am new at these banana plants and have a lot to learn. Red

sandy0225 · 06-28-2007, 04:02 PM

Does it count if they're potted?
144 musa basjoo
2 namwah pearl (yeah!I know, a waste of time!)
1 ladyfinger
1 saba

MediaHound · 06-28-2007, 11:53 PM

Sure, potted counts too

That's a lot of basjoo!
Spread the love, get them out there into people's yards!

AnnaJW · 07-02-2007, 06:39 PM

Yesterday I separated from mom's and potted: 2 SDC's, and a Little Prince. Have so much to do in the yard, but it's HOT out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to think just a short while ago, I was complaining about the cold...

Floridagardner · 07-02-2007, 10:28 PM

Received the banana fertilizer I ordered. Gave the plants the recommended dose and added some top soil. Looking forward to a better growing plant with this improvement. I've got one that has two small pups, should I remove these and plant alone? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

MediaHound · 07-02-2007, 11:58 PM

Can you post a pic?
Can you tell us more about the plants? How old, how tall are they, etc..

NANAMAN · 07-04-2007, 11:29 PM

Planted Belle,High Color Mini,Nino,SH3640,and repotted Siam Ruby.

I'm ready to build an ark over here and put two pups of each of my bananas in it !
I got floaties on when I go into my garden !
I pull my garden tools and fertilizer behind me in a pirogue !
No , seriously , I 'm seeing some good growth with all of this rain and I have not had to turn the irrigation on in weeks .

bananaboat · 07-06-2007, 02:11 PM

I just potted a 'Truly Tiny' into one of my hydro pots. I had been waiting for a pup to get large enough to take off and it finally made it. I have several 'Truly Tiny' and 'Little Prince' in pots that I have been dividing and now have one of each in the hydro.

My larger plants, "Gran Nian" and "Dwarf Orinco" were potted up to the Earthbox's a few weeks ago and are doing great.

Kylie2x · 07-13-2007, 02:17 PM

Well the rain has stopped.... I had to water for the first time yesterday... Here is a pic of the GF... I saw a small pup coming out on the Thai and I just repotted the Siam...

Thanks Diana!
That is my daughter and grandbabies.. They have been here for 3 weeks and just left this morning...boohoo!!!..Everyone took a banana tree with them...My grandson is 3 and got the biggest one... he has been watering it everyday... We live way out in the country and his aim (if you know what I mean...LOL) sucks!!! So I send him outside to water a banana more than a few times a day!!! His is growing faster than the others...LOL
