Re: check out my Northern Banana progress...

They are huge. like 36" w X 40" tall. this is the second time that these mats have flowered in these pots. The dw. namwah flowered two years ago, and the tall one must be an overachiever because it...

Re: Musa Margaritia not happy.

we still sell them, I just haven't really been mailing them out. all the ones I have are getting too big to mail out very easy and it's so much easier to just sell them walk-in around here anyway. It...

Re: Curled/Floppy Cigar Leaf - Flag Next?

Re: Outside Basjoo - when did your corms start growing this year?

mine have just started in the last week or so, same with hardy hibiscus. Customers were already coming in asking to buy replacements. I told them to give it some more time.

Re: Ripening bananas on the plant - less tasty ?

we just pick ours as they ripen. here in Indiana they don't all ripen at once, so we get an extended harvest with 3-5 bananas usually every couple of days. and they definitely aren't tasteless, so...

Re: Musa Margaritia not happy.

Re: Hibernating a basjoo

I've been doing the same thing for years. I just don't mulch thickly over them though. I just let the stalks die down and mulch themselves.

Re: My first year basjoo

Re: Dwarf Namwah oddly tall this year

wow yours really does look like my namwah, but mine isn't getting taller this year. Probably because it's in a very large pot.

Re: Male bud: to cut or not to cut?

I cut mine off because my Thai friends are usually standing there drooling wanting it to make a salad that they love to eat out of it!

Re: Colocasia Thailand giant makes runners?

My thai giant doesn't make runners at all. it has 3-4 pups on it right at the base. I'm still not sure that maybe they didn't send you a jacks giant. they look really similar and make runners.
