I recommend you throttle back on the phosphate. The HD brand "Vigoro" Citrus & Avocado Food is an above-average option for bananas:

Vigora 20 lb. Citrus and Avocado Plant Food

That is a 7 gallon pot and thus the rhizomes from the mother corm are hitting the pot walls and sending up pups. At this stage of growth it should be in at least 15 gallon. Personally I'd put it in a 25 gallon black nursery pot and invest in a dolly.

what does too much phosphate do to the plant? i haven't ever heard that before.. genuinely curious. and also it is in a massive pot about 4 feet tall.. the banana plant just makes it look tiny! definitely bigger than 7 gal haha

Party Re: Musa Aeae White Variegated

I lied the pot is only 2 feet tall. It's still massive though.. no way the corm is as wide as the pot already though haha I have seen them in nurseries (same height) in 7 gal pots and they were all thriving

*Update.. just measured and the pot diameter is 30".. no way the corm is that big lol it's shooting up pups because it's a happy momma corm

10-10-10 is an ok general purpose. Something with a lower ratio of P to N and K would be better. And in my opinion, the Fruit Fuel formula I designed is ideal.

Thanks, that is a big pot. If the top diameter is 30" then I gather those vertical fence railings are 5" apart?

I agree, but rhizomes from the corm could easily have reached the walls of the pot by now.

Source was https://www.best-price-plants.com/Bu...anana-tree.htm for the plant. I asked them a long time ago and they didn't specify what banana it actually was. I still like it a lot.. but just want to know exactly what it is...

The mail-order nursery an affiliation of Ty Ty nursery.
An internet search will reveal a few complaints with plants being misidentified.
That is the same plant model(the boy in the third photo) from their web page.

In this photo he is modeling his nuts

And he is wearing the same tee shirt

Default Re: Musa Aeae White Variegated

Thank you... that was very helpful! So now that I know the grower source, I have narrowed it down to either dwarf namwa, tanee, or meta chimera. I do not know much about the meta chimera though... except that it's exclusive to Ty Ty nursery. Pretty neat! I'm actually hoping now that it is the dwarf namwa so I can keep it potted (8-10 foot pseudo height).

Here is a link with a good pic of the meta chimera... looks awfully similar Growing my Bananas in pots

I see. I am no longer interested in AEAE's because I read they cannot dip below 60F. If I were to slip up once in my climate they would be harmed.. I can't take that risk haha

My friend in NC zone 7 swears his stays in the ground and returns yearly but I don't believe it. Unless his is just special or something haha

They can definitely go way lower then 60f. Mine is only 3-4’ tall in a 15 gallon pot. This winter we had over 350 hours of chill (below 45f) and it did fine.

I am in zone 8 N.C. and have mostly kept my AeAe over many years in pots. They regularly see 40's F in my over winter greenhouse and have survived right down to freezing. I'm sure those chills do not help them but it does not kill them. Nematodes are what will kill them but that takes awhile. Even nematode problems can be taken care of with a high temp water bath of the corm. Except for the couple of times I have put them in ground I keep my pots off the ground so they will not get nematodes.

I'm interested in a AEAE if anyone here has them for purchase? I tried private messaging a few people but it said their inbox was full. If you know of any sellers, please let me know. Thank you!
