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

Is there a growing point on the chunk of tissue in your photo or is it just a piece of cortex from the mother plant?

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

How many minutes elapsed between cutting off all the rot and taking the photo?

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

I don't look at it as if I perfected something, all I did was eliminate the obvious mistakes. Once a grower eliminates the obvious mistakes then the small starts become easier to grow then the large...

shrek is right that "Alot of Bananas look similar when they are young.", so instead of wasting time focusing on the similarities just look for the differences. Your Kokopo appear exactly like they...

Re: Veinte Cohol Pups Arrived - It Begins!

Yeah It's been extremely slow. Also a flood of bots posting suspicious links too.
