Who has the Biggest-Tallest siam ruby out there? - Page 2

adrift · 09-29-2009, 05:21 PM

76 inches to top of tallest leaf on main p-stem
3 waist high pups
2 brand new emerging pups.

In the ground, Central FL white sand with some peat added, planted this spring as a little sprout.

Photo coming as soon as I find the camera's cable...

Here you go.

This is part of my "red bed."
Bordelon behind Siam.
Firebush to left. Red pineapple in front of that.
Red sage to the right.
Firespike barely visible at right edge.

Here is it a month ago. Can see the Bordelon better.

LOL @ SimplyBananas....20 points! That was hilarious!

And hmmm....some great pictures here, but I was guessing someone had one taller...seems like 6'8" is the winner for now!

i didn't post this becaus it is my avatar but but here ya go

Eric · 10-01-2009, 06:26 PM

Definitely need to keep this thread goin for pics of the fruit

!! Super color, Paul, about the reddest one I've seen so far!!

bigdog · 10-02-2009, 05:51 PM

If I can remember to bring my camera to school someday, I'll take a picture of the 'Siam Ruby' bananas in the UT Gardens. One mat is definitely taller than I am (6'7"), probably close to 8 feet to the top of the leaves.

Eric · 10-02-2009, 07:05 PM

That'd be Super, Frank! Sounds like it might have a great chance of flowering before long, too! Ummm.... Think we may have just found the tallest Siam AND the tallest member!
Well, back to the Rack.... Maybe I should buy some reflectors....

LilRaverBoi · 10-02-2009, 10:46 PM

Wow...seems like everyone has them, but they never seem to get very tall!!! Like dwarf banana status! Interesting! Hope we keep this thread going. How long have people had SR at the longest??? Just wondering how long it takes to flower/fruit (if it does!?).

Eric · 10-03-2009, 07:31 AM

Okay guys, real confusing. But both pics looked the same except the guy in the other pic. Did somebody paste a pic of another member on that photo? Heard of photoshop. Is that better than paint? Think i'll check it out, anyway.

Frank

, please post some pics of UT gardens if ya get some time! Would Luv to see that Siam, especially too if it fruits!!

The guy was cut out of another pic and added to the picture. Originally he was in a picture standing next to a very tall Saba. I can't seem to find the picture, but it's one of our more active members.

Thanx Bryan

. Now the post, that prompted me to write my post #30, has disappeared too! Must be getting too close to Halloween

The member that posted the alteration did not intend to offend me and was very apologetic and just trying to be humorous (I did not see the humor in it).

No offense, but what's the big deal? I'd totally be okay with someone using my pics for something like that. I would be kinda upset if they were trying to use it to sell something, but just the joke it was used for didn't seem offensive in the least. Again....don't really see the issue (and doesn't seem to justify removing all your pics). Again, no disrespect intended.

Simply Bananas · 10-03-2009, 09:57 PM

I'm going to jump in here.

The post is titled " Who has the Biggest-Tallest siam ruby out there?"
I said "This guy"(as he had grown the biggest Saba), so I cut his photo from his famous Saba picture and put him under the Siam Ruby.

I was implying that he could probably grow a giant Siam Ruby, too.

Eric · 10-07-2009, 05:47 AM

Be careful about using photos from MY gallery
You might force me to ROFLMFAO

Thanx Marenmar ! Thanx TyTy ! Totally Fun !

Checked everywhere I could find. Still cant find Any Reports or Photos that show that Ruby Siams can make fruit. This could be a rare banana cultivar that reproduces Only by pupping. A gentic defect of some kind.

Rmplmnz: There IS a "private gallery" option. You CAN have galleries that are NOT available to other members.
BYE

dosin't any one read my post! if you go to the wiki you will see that the SR was only discovered in 2005 and its never been reported to have fruited they like intense heat and humidity high amounts of sun light and good firt ever month of so they pup like crazy and thats pretty much all they do except look nice next to a guy standing by the biggest Saba iv ever seen LOL
