Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Planted up 3 'nanas in the garden last week, but I ended up with all the leaves burned by the sun...... too much hurry !!!
Luckily the cigar leaves are ok, so after the shock they'll grow again green leaves |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
I planted the two surviving Thai Papaya plants I started last Summer(the rest were eaten by Possums in the greenhouse. The 3 least damaged I brought onto the f porch and dragged them in the house every time it froze. Only 2 made it...) as well as the last Winter Squash 'Sucre du Berrie'. Tomorow I start digging out the old Oronocos that never blom(let alone fruit) to make space for future fruit trees.

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
I was going to plant a Dwarf Red, a Double Mahoi, and a Hua Moa; but the rain kicked butt, and I slinked away soaked to the skin. I'll try again tomorrow.
Major 'nanner kudo's to Gabe15 for the tip on going to Ko'olau Farmer's to look for some banana cultivars I was interested in. If I remember correctly they had some Dwarf Red, Double Mahoi, Orinoco (maybe dwarf), one Plantain, some Williams Hybrid, and I think I saw a Mysore, too. There was only one Hua Moa (which I quickly snatched up), and it went home with a Dwarf Red, and a Double Mahoi. I also saw about 8 or 9 unmarked pots of something that was a dead-ringer for Siam Ruby. You folks have posted plenty of Siam Ruby photos, so I'm quite sure that is what it was. Don't know why there was no label or price on those. I passed it up since I don't know if it is edible/seeded or not, and I don't have the space to waste on a mere ornamental. I wish I did. Based on my orchid experience, I'd judge the condition of the plants as somewhere between fair and good. I picked the best, most robust ones of the selection they had, and am hoping I done good. I groomed them of the dead leaves, and once they are situated in their new sites, I expect them to perk up and take hold. Here are my new 'nanners: Dwarf Red Double Mahoi Hua Moa Last edited by Yug : 04-17-2011 at 09:26 PM. |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Today I started soaking my Musa Velentina in warm already boiled water...
Any tips for the following steps would be gratefully received... i.e How long do you think i should soak for? I have a place reserved for one of these in my lounge already.... just gotta get it from seed to planting... Last edited by Bananana : 04-19-2011 at 09:04 AM. |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Hi all. I planted one of 3 Tandara Red(Maurelii) plants in the ground 10 days ago. The weather is still cool here, in the SE of Europe, and that pup in the ground stays almost with no growth(but with very intensive red coloring on the back side of a leafs) in contrast to that one still keeping in pot.
The third one has an adventure - my little dog Maggy jump on it in the car when I transporting him and breaks it approx. an inch from the bottom. I thought he is dead, but few days he pushed up 2 or 3 stalks only(with no leafs) and finally - the new leaf! So I'm very happy and hope till the end of the month will place it on a ground!

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Jon (pitangadiego), I'm surprised you could find spots to plant that many new ones!
Over about the last month I've planted: Ice Cream, Rose, Dwarf Namwah, Raja Puri, Cardaba, Tomoc, Kluai Khai, Manzano, Pisang Klotek, Pisang Ceylan, Mysore, Misi Luki, and Mona Lisa. Still have a few left that need to go in the ground. |
