Re: False Ice Cream ID

Re: Edible Musa collected in Sarawak Borneo

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...
