Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
Why did you plant 2 different varieties so close together?

Keep this up till flowering size. When flower pops I would stick the pots in the garden bath tub with a sky light above. Last bunch I remember was 72 edible bananas. Good rule to follow --- stick to short height varieties and short cycle especially. Like Viente Cohol. It's nice to use the tub now and then. |

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
A couple first time fruiters.
Pitogo, (finally!) after a few years and 2 other plants that were something else. Those tiny little fruit make me think it's the real thing, as the friend who gave it to me said. Another interesting one, Putalinga Hina Nounou obtained from the now defunct Greenwell Garden in Kona. It's a popoulu type. |

I was just glad I was there in January right before this was announced and got a few more keiki from unlabeled mats. Some of their banana cultivars exist in fewer than 10 locations. We also got a couple rare types into a tissue culture preservation project last summer. |

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
Bananimal, could you describe the taste of VC bananas, please? Sub acid, more like Cavendish, something else? Also, who here might have one?

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
First bananas from this plant. I got this Gros Michel from Florida Hill on 08/01/2013. I hope I got the correct plant.
[/url=http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=59847] My neighbor cut the Male Bud off yesterday while I was at work. I will have to wait until it blooms again for positive identification Last edited by Lau : 06-11-2016 at 10:45 AM. Reason: Update |

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
My first pup from my Brazilian that flowered last fall is about to flower..
Whole plant first... Flower beginnings 1... Flower beginnings 2... I, of course, will add more pics after it begins making hands. Flowering this time of year, I guess, should make a bigger raceme than my November one did, plus, this pup is much larger than the original TC mother plant was. Should ripen in less than 5 months as well. CAN'T WAIT!!
