Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Rmplmnz,
I planted all of the Rose except one. and I potted it. I also created new mats with the PJBs, strategically placed for good cross pollenation. Diploid cultivars with disease resistance and nematode tolerance are the Bomb!!! Thanks!! |

3640 is growing like a weed..as are the others..my collection has expanded more this year than any other year.. Be interesting to see how well the PJB's do for you..they are very unusual fruit. |

I also found that removing 12-24 inches from the tips of vertically arching leaves prolongs their ability to support their own weight, and makes them more resistent to strong winds. |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
I didn't plant them today, but a couple days ago I planted two Gros Michel's. One was planted in front of my house, and the other was planted next to the rental house that I manage. I thought it would be nice for our guests to have some great tasting bananas during their vacation here.

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
I planted a ICE CREAM (Blue Java) today.
A very beautiful, cool tolerant banana plant with texture and flavor similar to vanilla ice cream. This banana tree has beautiful large leaves and produces medium bunches of silvery blue bananas that are very delicious fresh or cooked. Mature banana tree height to 12' |

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
A few weeks back I got a Ensete maurelli (from ebay) and it almost died (im bad with keeping mail order bananas alive I guess). I repotted it, cut all the leaves off and its already pushed up 2 healthy leaves. Next spring I plan on putting it in the ground. Its going to be the first banana I attempted to put in the ground and if it works out well it may have some friends beside it

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
Always nice to get a surprise in the mail. What goes around comes around, hence the Orinoco's showing up. It never hurts to mention what you are looking for even if you can't find them right away. Makes me glad you're happy with them.......not to mention not having to overwinter them
