Re: Lakatan?
Thanks for the help, Everyone. I have three mats of this flowering now at all the same height. I do have DC, but the bananas are much thinner and longer on the DC. This banana has very angular...

Lakatan?
I think this one was supposed to be Lakatan, but I can't be sure. It is a dwarf in any case. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Thai Variegated Banana and AeAe flowering
Hi Molly, if I'm not mistaken, the Indonesian Ivory banana is the same as the Thai variegated banana 'Tanee,' but I could be wrong. I bought my variegated bananas under all different names, and they...

Re: Thai Variegated Banana and AeAe flowering
Hey Keyupid, don't feel bad. I bought four AeAe pups when I was first starting out growing bananas, and they all died. Three of them were too little to begin with and didn't have enough corm, and...

One of my Thai 'Tanee' bananas is starting to flower. This is the first one to flower since they were planted in April, 2010. I am told that the fruit is seeded and inedible. I do have several...

Re: Ae Ae Pup 5/6/2012
I agree with everyone that a solid green pup is rare; although, I do get a few on my Thai variegated bananas, but the majority are variegated to some degree or another.
However, I have an AeAe in...

Re: I finally gave in and did it
Hi Ante, they are 'Tanee' variegated banana corms with some stalk. I know the stalks don't look very variegated in the picture, but they were. They were a little beat up from winter.
Brent, just...

I agree with the others that it will be fine, and you have new growth showing already. If you would have purchased a Tanee from me, I would have sent you one twice as big and packed it extremely...

Re: What is it with tiny bananas?
Thanks for your help, Gabe. I can't remember right now what I did last year. I think I put a cupful of slow-release fertilizer pellets, like 13-13-13, down at each mat, and I think I used the water...

Can anyone identify this one for me? I'm not sure what it was when I planted it -- possibly Double Majoi, but I can't be sure.
It's a pretty short banana at about four feet tall, and it has taken a...

Re: Sweetheart (FHIA -3) banana
Mine hasn't fruited yet so I can't do a comparison to mine. Your leaves look a little wider than mine, and I don't think mine has the white on the back of the leaves that yours do.
