Re: 2018 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida

I have a Namwa bunch that filled out after only three months. You have a good chance to get mature bananas before frost is a problem.

Re: Banana corm disaster!

I also had problems with internal corm rot last year. There was no evidence of corm weevil or nematode damage. The cause was probably fungal rot from too much water.

Re: Need help with Cavendish

What kind of ants? If they are fire ants, watch out! Fire ants sting relentlessly and are extremely aggressive.

Is Goldfinger susceptible to Panama disease?
