What's pushing out new growth for you ?

Lagniappe · 02-25-2008, 08:56 PM

Spring is almost here ! My Maurelii have all been sending out new growth for a few weeks now and today I noticed an ornata doing the same .
Alocasia calidora is putting on some new groth as well .
And,of course , all the trees are starting to bloom or bud out and the daffys and paperwhites are blooming. I'm in zone 8 .
So, what's going on in your neck of the woods?

AllenF · 02-25-2008, 09:04 PM

My Musa Basjoo is pushing up new leaves. So are 2 of my Dwarf Cavendish bananas. All of the plants are inside and some have yet to break dormancy.

Nothing I have outside is, To cold still. Basically everything I have inside is doing good though!

xavierdlc61887 · 02-25-2008, 09:10 PM

all my bananas and plants u sent me have started to push new growth so that was pretty cool to watch, my peach and citrus tress have started as well

its great watching all plants come to life all at the same time

Taylor · 02-25-2008, 09:16 PM

Hm...on the banana end Pete, your California Gold, and my Siam Ruby are pushing leaves now.

mskitty38583 · 02-25-2008, 10:02 PM

it seems like new leaves everyday on oscar and brutus. oh forgot....oronioco and saba. one lavander ornata sent up a pup in less then 2 days time( still no leaves on mom yet). new leaves on the bronze ornatas, finally leaves popping out on the d. oroniocos. and lucky charm and late bloomer, green ornatas are leafing fast. hcm's are zooming right along with the rest. pretty soon will have to bring out the machette. lol!

natedogg1026 · 02-25-2008, 10:05 PM

Siam, SDC, Saba, E.ventricosum,Velutina, and my Basjoo. All in my toasty lil greenhouse.

momoese · 02-25-2008, 11:19 PM

Well its not really new growth per say but I planted over 500 datura seeds triple purple and triple yellow well guess how many came up 500,,,I sure hope its a datura year,LOL!!!!

the flying dutchman · 02-26-2008, 07:11 AM

All my bananas survived except for a small Helens Hybrid.

I had only Basjoo, Ice Cream and Lasiocarpa dormant, Basjoo is growing and so does Lasiocarpa
Ice Cream does nothing in the GH but looks okay.

musa_monkey · 02-26-2008, 08:47 AM

Maurellis, Cavendsih, Basjoo Sakhalin, Sikkimensis and Lasciocarpa all going strong pushing out new leaves at the moment. Looking forward to getting some of them into the ground soon.

bencelest · 02-26-2008, 10:01 AM

My California gold is only one I've noticed for my bananas but the plums, plouts and cherries are starting to break their flowers.

STEELVIPER · 02-26-2008, 10:10 AM

Everything is growing well here. May hit 80F this week.

SteveW · 02-26-2008, 05:03 PM

Most of my nanas are slowly coming back to life in the greenhouse,most notably zebrina and manzano.
Indoors my siam ruby has been growing all winter on a windowsill in the bathroom,its even produced 2 more pups bringing the total to 5,6 including mummy,lol
I'm most excited about my black balbisiana,florida variegate and siamea variegate all starting to come to life.
Can't wait for spring to stay sprung here.

MediaHound · 02-26-2008, 07:19 PM

10b everything moving along just fine, the cold snap we had a couple weeks ago was a setback but blooms are appearing on some heliconias and some bromeliads. A pair of Sabas are blooming now as are a RajaPuri and a Grand Nain. I just cut down some almost ripe Ice Cream fruits and have another still hanging. Papaya just finishing harvest time as well. Sugarcane is growing fantastic and some orchids just got done blooming as well. Cant wait for the real thing (Spring that is).

Lagniappe · 03-03-2008, 01:41 PM

Now everything seems to be coming back . Daj giant has some pups popping up ,Sabas are pushing leaves , velutina are as well. My bonfire peach has a few blooms that opened today . And Cannas are unrolling leaves .
We're expecting some below freezing lows for the next few nights . I hope it does'nt mess everything up.

bigdog · 03-03-2008, 05:51 PM

Nice day here today, about 73F or so in my yard. Banana-wise though, nothing is moving outside yet. It was March 13th that Musa yunnanensis emerged last year though, so shouldn't be long now! Lots of daffodils blooming here now, Winter Jasmine has been putting on a show, Forsythias are blooming as well. Red Maples are blooming too. Spring is right around the corner!

magicgreen · 03-03-2008, 08:03 PM

It was 70* here in Z6 today! Cold tomorrow and might snow this week though.
My Saba, Orinico, basjoo,& lil prince pushes out a leaf about every 6 days.
I brought up some of my tall Dwarf cavendish from the basement to wake them up!
I also noticed my tulips, and hostas are coming up!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa........Its almost Spring people!!!!!!!!

mskitty38583 · 03-03-2008, 09:10 PM

tulips, daffies, yellow star jasmine,the roses are fixing to leaf out in a week or two. my willow bush is getting leaves. all the nanas and everything else are doing great. it was 70 here today, but the winds are blowing really hard tonight.they are calling for rain after midnight and possible snow this week. after 2 days in fl w/ the temp in the 70's this kind of hurts.

microfarmer · 03-03-2008, 11:45 PM

Beside all the daffodil, apricot, peach, and nectarine blossoms...

I guess winter's over at my house...
