Re: Growing Bananas at 8000 feet/searching for A'ea'e

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

Just like other bananas the corm will form. If you mean by "pruning", you are referring to the removal of leaves, I always leave any leaf with any amount of green, at all, on the plant till it...

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

Re: Brown/Black spots on cavendish/basjoo

The plants look like they're doing great! One thing I learned the hard way, was not to stress out about the smaller little details if the overall health of the plant is good.

Now it's good that you...

Re: New way to grow Bananas in colder climates??

Many members kill their A'ea'e over the winter because of the combination of slower growth rate and poor soil aeration.

By raising the soil level (only 3" in the photo below) the plant will raise...
