Re: Sick Keikis?
It doesn't look too much like bunchy top to me, but I have limited experience. It may just be that they're struggling. Looking like that after 1 week I wouldn't worry about, but the other seems odd....

Re: Sick Keikis?
It's summer in your location. Have you increased irrigation? Are they receiving sufficient nitrogen and potash?

Re: Hawaiian keikis wanted on Big Island
Marvin in Mt. View may have Huamoa available. He certainly has Popo'ulu varieties as well. Seems to be quite a few banana collections around, just a matter of finding them.

Re: Aloha!

Nang Phaya Taste Report
I've been waiting a while for these. Previous p-stems withered before fruiting, so it took 3.5 years to get fruit. Another planted on my new lot fruited in about a year. Very interesting Thai banana...
