already fruitified plant corm for macropropagation?
Hey nanners! I been asking myself quite a bit this question.....can you wait to harvest the bananas and then dig this finished corm up to make macropropagation? Or you have to do it with a "young" one?
Cheers! Y muchas gracias desde España! |

So....i have a orinoco with 3 "trunks", one with bananas. There is 6 new pups coming , no one of this 6 comes from the frutified trunk? Interesting......:).
Thx a lot! |

back in the early 80's i bought a place with near a hundred orinocos on it. some body else planted them not i. i ate alot of those bananas not doing i thing to them. if you eat them when they are fully developed and still green they the meat is not white when you peal them they are orange. delicious very good eating. always wanted to do some in a dehydrator with a drop of tea honey.

It depends on the exact technique you are using, but they are not ideal for macropropagation. Better to use younger shoots around 4-6" diameter at the base. Previously fruited corms can be dug out and replanted elsewhere and they will produce more suckers, and you can dig those up and accelerate propagation some.

So is this the same as taking pieces to make tissue culture plantlets? When I looked it up that’s what I got out of it.

Okay I got it thanks.

Re: already fruitified plant corm for macropropagation?
Are you using anything to push the pupping along like BAP or any fertilizers? And what is that substrate? DG?
