![]() In case anyone likes photos, I took these this morning while checking on the garden.
Ae Ae bunch progressing nicely Bungulan now has wider leaves that can handle higher light intensity Williams is growing well, but nothing special Double Mahoi is taller than my neighbor's fruiting ones, but still no bud. On the left is Hawaiian sugarcane - Ko Honua Ula - about 7 1/2 to 8 ft high. Gros Michel 'Cocos' doing well GM has nice color on the petioles Dwarf Namwah growing slower, and leaves still roundish Hua Moa with 6 ft p-stem, and 10 pups Manai Ula has stopped growing, but the pup is taking off Manzano bunch slowly getting fatter I liked my daughter's SDC (left) so well I bought one with 2 pups (right) for me Saba and pups - largest pup has 7 ft p-stem, main plant is 14 in at base Ko Halai'i - variegated Hawaiian sugarcane, about 7 ft high That's enough for now. ![]() Last edited by Yug : 06-26-2012 at 02:25 AM.

![]() Ante, I see you turned to flowering plants this season, do you know that my parthenocissus which climbed on the garage almost all died this winter, only couple branches survived.

![]() Ante, I wish I could over winter my nanas in the garden like that… it would be so cool!!
We in the UK have just had the coldest spring (March/April) in 50 years with cold winds coming from the northeast and my garden looks very bare at the moment, that’s all set to change at the weekend though because the wind is going to change direction and come from the south. ![]() |
