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?

PR-Giants: Thanks for the clarification of terms. Yes, I meant to ask which cultivars are typically able to yield seed. This leads to another question: which cultivars are typically able to produce...

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...

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

I think the question was asked as a teaching moment for the typical banana collectors that are visitors here. Most here do not want to deal with tissue culture as growing bananas is just a fun...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

I would love to see pics of holes in sides of containers.

I just spent all day, 200 miles of driving to several gravel/sand/quarry places, big box stores, and nurseries. Didn't find a single source...

Re: First flower! Dwarf Orinoco

Would there be any potential in crossing an Orinoco and Velutina?


Also fantastic pictures!

Re: What's the best propagation method for this situation?

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

My drainage holes were a big part of the problem. I used a 1/4 drill bit, and drilled dozens of holes, but they were just too small, and with resting on the ground, clogged up. I was totally fooled...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

How much drainage did you have in those whiskey barrels? A lot of people (including myself in past years) drill 3 or 4 holes and consider that enough. Drainage holes are not only for drainage of...
