Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

Well, I spent some time going through my corms in sand, using the hourglass and wiggle slightly method, and there appears to be ZERO rot on any of them. They are just sitting there, enjoying their...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

Wiggling it from side to side can also indicate the presence of rot but there's nothing comparable to getting eyes on it.

All a'ea'e rot all of the time.

I'm sure there are some people that...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

4 weeks 2 days today, and no growth. I have however used a test I do with Fig cuttings, and that is applying just a very slight, light tug on each corm, and there are definitely roots formed, they...

Re: Hawaii small red

I should clarify that since I live in Quebec, and I don't have a yard, I would attempt to grow it indoors, fully aware that there's a high chance of failure, or it not growing well or not flowing or...

Re: Hawaii small red

The Red from the Red subgroup is an excellent banana but depending on where you're growing might not be a wise choice. The color of the fruit is green when the bracts lift and quickly turns to dark...

Re: Hawaii small red

Ah, the devilishly simple name of the Reds. It's kind of absurd, but that's literally how the scientific community refers to them. They have a bunch of regional names in local languages, but the Reds...

Welcome! I have had many red bananas but most have failed my tough boot camp, after a while, so am not sure what banana that is but someone here surely does and will help. Be patient. Our site has...

Variegated Dwarf

Hawaii small red

Hello, new here. I'm looking for the name of a banana I found on Hawaii on a trip about 10 years ago. I bought it from a farm road side stand on the big island. The fruits were red, about 6" long,...

It’s doing much better this year in a pot, basically in the same spot it was last year.

I think a live oak root had grown right through the rootball last year and was draining all the water...

Re: Shortest/Dwarfiest Banana to Flower?

Thank you! That's awesome! It did push out a sucker so I guess we'll see with that one. It's possible it was cut too - I can't be certain as I got it from a local gardener here a couple months ago...

Re: Shortest/Dwarfiest Banana to Flower?

Congrats!

As for why it's flowering, several explanations are possible.

1) Like Foxhound suggests, it's possible that you've hit the genetic lottery. The question now is if it's a one-off...

Shortest/Dwarfiest Banana to Flower?

Found my pink velvet (Musa velutina) to be in the process of flowering. The thing is, it is only a foot tall! From what I've gathered online these should grow to 4 to 7 ft tall (~1.5-2m).

Do you...

Re: Veinte Cohol Pups Arrived - It Begins!

The Pink Velvet (Musa velutina) is somehow flowering. It's only about 1 ft tall. No shot it can support inflorescence right?

Re: Tissue cultures keep dying

I definitely understand the TC issue.

I've had 3 TCs for a couple of months now, and they're so finicky and growing barely faster than snails race.

It seems like we've passed the glory days of...
