Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Re: Strange spacing on new fruit

Looks like plant was weak when it flowered, and fruit is more or less correctly spaced, but actual fruit is undersize which gives the appearance of overly wife spacing. Not uncommon on a first bunch...

Re: How to Remove Really Big Pups

I successfully dug up and transplanted 2 plants with pstems about 10'. One pstem snapped while driving, which after cutting back to 4 feet it's back up to 7' a month later. The other one dropped all...

Re: Time to separate the pups for the Spring

I'd choose the ones more in the 18" - 3' range, personally, but the taller ones will probably do fine. And if you want to get rid of the larger ones anyway, there's no reason not to.

Re: Time to separate the pups for the Spring

That's sort of a myth -- the pup draining energy from the mother plant -- from what I've seen and understand. If the pup gets big enough that it is shading the mother plant or restricting it's...

Re: Timing..

Once they plump up I start harvesting hands from the top down. They ripen off the plant faster ( mine are in a shady spot) in my kitchen but eventually they ripen completely on the plant. I do not...

Re: When do I put Gros Michel in the ground?

Richard also has pretty good luck with his banana plants. So, any advice he gives on soil preparation for your area, I would do it.
