Re: Yellow Sigatoka treatment

Thank you; that link is interesting - it says Cavendish are prone to sigatoka which makes sense as I have a few other varieties (lady finger ect) right next to them which aren't affected.
I'm...

Any idea on how to best treat this? It's coming into winter now here (Sydney) and the underside of the leaves are showing this rust which eventually consumes the entire leaf. On another forum it was...

Canary Island bananas

Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows which variety is grown throughout the islands? They look like Gran Nain to me; I'm pretty sure they are a Cavendish but not the Williams one we grow in Australia....

Re: Banana corm disaster!

Plot Twist - I stuck the plants with rotten corms in a bucket of water and the parts that aren't rotten are growing roots. Now if the corm had rotted due to cold or a virus, surely the water would...

Re: Banana corm disaster!

Thank you!
What are the signs? I've noticed they go from growing vigorously to just completely stopping.

I think it must be one of the first two. I did't see any evidence of weevils..

How many Cavendish varieties & their differences are there?

I have some 'Williams' Cavendish plants growing. They have a fairly tight clump and reach about 3m tall. I recently got suckers from someone else's Cavendish and they were far taller (5-6m) and...

This is my seņorita. It used to have suckers but I removed them. The stem is very red/pink. The leaves are a mess because of a shrub that was removed adjacent to it and it got mangled with it. It has...

Hi all

In 2012 I asked about experience with Gros Michel and cold tolerance. I've since grown them in the Sydney area which has a similar climate to Los Angeles but more wet and humid. I've found...

In NSW, they use one stake with a horse shoe attached to the top. Not sure how they make it though

Re: Seperated sucker with very little corm - will it survive?

I always found separating suckers fairly easy but this Williams Cavendish is a very tight, deep clump. It was as if the corm didn't expand at all, but rather that the sucker just grew from underneath...

Seperated sucker with very little corm - will it survive?

This Cavendish sucker was seperated from its parent several months ago. It hasn't done anything and has very little corm, but a small amount with a few roots. I am thinking of growing it in a bucket...
