Basjoo acceleration
 

At least in the last 2-3 weeks we've got warmer nights too(not days only), and the old group of my basjoo get accelerated.

photo taked on 14th of may

and the same pups a day latter :)))

Except 3 bigger pups 60-70 cm tall(approx 2 ft), you can see 3 other very little pups on the ground, i noticed them on the second day:):08:

And this is the new Basjoo, wintered in a pot, and i planted him in a ground last Sunday. I will give actual photos in this thread in the middle of the next week.

Hi everyone! : )

Here is the progress of my old (one year:ha:) group of basjoos:

26-th of may

and on the next day, 27-th

There are 3 another young pups (one is well visible in the front of picture), and the father of a second groups of that kind of bananas, i planted 3 weeks ago seems very well too(will post some photos this weekend). His story is very interesting: one of the girls in the office gave it to me last year, an half ft tall. I planted him in a little pot, but very fast understood that this is NOT the same like my old Dwarf Cavendish :08: - he grows veeeery faster, and i re-planted him twice in bigger pots till winter, when he was the only survival from the group of 4 or 5 another young bananas(dwarf C.) even became a bit taller till spring.
The interesting difference between him and that basjoos on a photos is a soft, but nonably pink color of that part of stem where the leafs are separating from it and maybe they seems some waxy...
I will try to make some more quality photos this weekend too.
regards!

Especially smaller pups grow fast, bigger usually slow down. It seems like you have quiet rich soil so they should grow well.

M. Sikkim. surprised me with some partly colored leafs


And the Basjoos 3 days ago, I'm very proud of them :08:

As seen on picture, weeds are very persistent and I think to mulch bananas with some straw or sawdust, not for better look only, but to keep moisture too. So i accept advices about : )
