Re: First flower! Dwarf Orinoco

Thanks, PR-Giants.

No, I haven't pollinated the female flowers. That does sound very interesting. Unfortunately, there's very little banana cultivation in northern California, although it's more...

Re: First flower! Dwarf Orinoco

Congrats on your first flower.

Did you hand pollinate any of the female flowers?

If you think nectar is cool then you'll probably think creating seeds and producing new varieties is really cool.

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

Oldest leaves are most susceptible and they're more susceptible during certain weather conditions.

During the vegetative phase a banana stores nutrients for use during the fruiting phase. After the...

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

I rarely have a goal of growing the fruit so have never tried to maximize that. I have grown fruit anyway but mainly I have just grown the plants for propagation (and not much of that in a few...

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

I have been slowly increasing my musa collection the past few years, and overall, I would say, there is no comparison to TC plants, and corms I have purchased. The vigor, strength, and viability in...
