Re: Mysore / Pisang Klotek - Worth it?
Harvey,
I'm curious to know more about your Pisang Klotek and the kind of winter you describe it surviving. Did you give it any protection? Did the pseudostem start off the winter at 3 feet? I...

Re: Who gets voted off the island?
Thanks for the advice, guys. Since posting my question, I've had a couple of varieties helpfully eliminate themselves from the running, and I've got a couple of others that I've added, which seem to...

Re: Unidentified Home Depot red?
I've read that Iholene varieties from Hawaii are recognized by the iridescent reddish undersides of their newly unfurling leaves. Not sure how likely that HD would stock Iholene, though. I think...

Re: raja puri?
I can attest to the toughness of this banana. It was the first I bought, and when I divided and moved it to a different spot in my yard, I tossed part of a corm down the side of our house into my...

Who gets voted off the island?
I have a dilemma. My garden includes some raised beds I'm planning to devote to my bananas. The problem is that I have more bananas in containers than I have spaces in the beds. While I may be...

Re: Hmm...Papaya or Babaco?
I have a friend in Loma Linda (9b, I think) who is successfully growing both, and I'm sure his place gets both hotter and colder than your locale. I'm trying both myself, here in Rancho Cucamonga.

Re: Passion Vine seed
Tony,
As a passiflora afficianado, I was wondering whether you've grown Passiflora maliformis (sweet calabash). I have a small seedling I'm hoping will do well for me. I've read it's a...

Anyone growing hardy kiwi (Actinidia)?
I just ordered a pair of Ken's Red hardy kiwi vines. I know I could be growing the more familiar, larger kiwi's here in my climate, but I like the idea of smaller, sweeter fruit with edible...

Looking for Lakatan & Pisang Klotek (Mysore)
If anyone has pups of either variety they'd part with, I'd be interested in buying, if the price is right. I'd also be happy to trade, though I only have Rajapuri pups at this point.
