Re: Buy Specialty Fruit in Orlando
That really looks like fun, but it's about an hour and a half away. I'll look to see if there's something on the Atlantic coast like it.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, for my kids, I am a marine...

Re: Buy Specialty Fruit in Orlando
That was silly of me. Craigslist should have been my first thought. I would have never thought Walmart would have some of that fruit, but I'm sure I'll check there. The kids are excited about...

Buy Specialty Fruit in Orlando
My family and I are making a trip to Orlando and I thought since I was down there I might try to see if I could get my hands on some varieties of bananas and other specialty fruits. Are there any...

Re: Gros Michel Banana Plants for Sale
I wanted to mention mine came. They arrived in great shape and are growing well. I wish they grew a bit faster, but I suppose I should blame winter for that. Now I wait impatiently until I feel like...

Re: Green House Question.
I bought a cheap greenhouse that was on sale at a local discount store. It has clear plastic. In the daytime here, on a clear day, it's gotten up to almost 95 degrees, but in the morning when I go to...

Re: Cavendish 7b, potential overwintering mistake.
Does this mean essentially that it's just an over-large pup and I should leave it attached to be the fruiting stem next time?
In other words, at the 3" level, there are only sword and water suckers...

Re: Cavendish 7b, potential overwintering mistake.
Thanks. Now that I am looking around a bit more, I see that some USDA maps/zone finders have me in 7b and others have me in 8b. I can't say that I understand this phenomenon, but there you go.
In my...

Cavendish 7b, potential overwintering mistake.
I'm sort of new to this whole process after buying a dwarf Cavendish last year. I got a small plant (4") that grew to shoulder height before winter hit. I have to admit I was a little confused by the...

Re: Young/new Cavendish problem.
Yes, that's true. I guess I was looking for some reassurance that the new, smaller leaves weren't anything to worry about. In the one picture, you can see how the newer leaves are smaller than the...

Re: Young/new Cavendish problem.
I planted them both the same size (about 4") and put a gallon of compost into the regular, sandy soil. I live in Carteret County, sort of in the lower third of the state. I feed them with compost...

Young/new Cavendish problem.
I bought these two Cavendish banana trees and planted them back in June. They started off growing very well after a little adjustment period. Then, the southern one started growing and leaving the...
