Re: Who is still here?

Yes still in Hawaii. I have a 35acre farm, usually somewhere around 150 varieties not counting my breeding projects which can add a few hundred more periodically before I make my selections....

Re: Grow banana tree from banana

This and many other similar videos are just click-bait trash. There isn't even a glimmer of reality in any of it, the videos are just designed to mesmerize you so watch, and then as views pile up,...

Re: Bunchy top paranoia

BBTV isn't known to be present in FL, so if you had it you would be the first ever, which is extraordinarily unlikely.


In looking at your photos, you definitely do not have BBTV. To me it looks...

Re: Bunchy top paranoia

Where are you located? Are you sure its even BBTV you are dealing with?

Re: Unknown Variety - Help Identifying

It's clearly Orinoco. It's rather malnourised, needs some more fert, water, or both.

Re: Banana domestication

Polyploid simply means any ploidy level (number of sets of chromosomes) more than diploid (2 sets) which is considered the standard base level. Polyploids could be triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid,...

Re: MIL Gave us a PUP and its now flowering

Re: Does anyone know what Logees is selling as their Dwarf Lady Finger?

It’s a somewhat smaller ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ variant. I’ve grown it before, far underperforming compared to more standard type ‘Dwarf Cavendish’, but not awful if you are super space limited. Seems more...

Re: Blue Java? Need help to Identify this one

Definitely not Blue Java, but also not Namwah which it is typically mixed up with. Looks more like Dwarf Brazilian, but with some odd traits, could just be a tissue culture off-type, or the result of...
