The dwarf have been here here for over 15 years, the tall for about 5 years.

We had an eruption about 3 or 4 years ago that affected...

Re: Yellowing/Browning on end of leaves on seedling

I lied when I said that I had no experience with indoor growing.
What I meant was, no experience with growing bananas indoors.

Back in the '70s while living in the U.S. Pacific Northwest on the West...

Re: Yellowing/Browning on end of leaves on seedling

I have absolutely no experience with cool climate indoor growing.
But, from what I see, the color of the leaf is quite light.
If anything the plant could use more light.
My suspicion is that the...

Re: Control of Thrips?

Sorry for not coming back on this sooner.

This Bunch's Time Has Come

It snuck up on me.
I probably could have cut them down yesterday or the day before.

Re: What is Going on With These Tall Brazilians?

Hey, robguz, or anyone from the East side of BI, where can one find a cost effective source for dolomite and borax?
Today is Sunday, not a good day for checking around.

I need dolomite for my citrus...

Re: What is Going on With These Tall Brazilians?

OK, I think you might be right.
Some dolomite and borax should make a difference, then.

I was worried that it might be something much more serious, like a virus.
This I can deal with.

I went out and began cutting the old dead leaves from the group today, and noticed this on only one plant in the group of 10.

Re: I Don't Think Its an Apple Banana

There is no longer any possibility of doubt that it is a Brazilian/Hawaiian Apple banana.

Re: I Don't Think Its an Apple Banana

I couldn't swear to it, but if memory serves me, the only place I've ever seen spotting on leaves labeled as being apples have been in HD or other big box stores.
From other threads around here, I...

Just for comparison:
One of my Dwarf Brazilians began putting out a new blossom a day or two ago.

Hi sputinc7,

Dwarf Brazilians Ripened

In my interest in the newer tall ones I had almost forgotten about these.

The center of the mound is about...

My hopes for having the tall apple bananas are much less in doubt now.
