They look like Musella lasiocarpa to me. I do not think Canadian tire would sell Ensete so that would eliminate those.

Cheers!

Re: Other Michigan Banana people?

sandercohen,

It's too bad to hear that your cold storage over wintered plants didn't survive, but good to year that you have other ones that made it. If the basjoo’s in the pot are large they should...

Re: how do I get corms going?

If you keep the soil in the pot warm it will stimulate new growth. A bright sunny window will work fine. Siran wrap (or other transparent material) over the pot will hold the heat from the sun in...

Re: basjoo withered in storage

There is nothing poor about the look of that banana. I think it looks great. How old was the P-stem when it flowered? I know you over-winter your bananas under your house so I would expect a full...

Re: basjoo withered in storage

That’s what my basjoo’s look like now after being taken out of dormancy and cleaned up. Did the pups on basjoo resume growth or did they choke? I have a few pups that are smaller on mine, but are not...

Re: activated charcoal in seed germination?

If you are looking for something that will aid in germination of seeds you can try Gibberellic acid which breaks seed dormancy and causes rapid germination. If I recall the mix 2000 ppm.

Re: activated charcoal in seed germination?

Re: New Basjoo Wintering Questions

Everything you are doing sounds good. The older leaves will turn yellow, but new ones will adjust to lower winter light levels. If it looks green it will continue to grow in your house throughout...

Re: Seperating a growing pup?

I don't think it matters as much for large corms if the root structure remains intact, but if you want root structure to grow from the corm, the corm must seek out water. When you deny them water...

Re: Seperating a growing pup?

The best way to keep the pup alive is to make sure you get as many roots as you can and a piece of the mother corm with it. The mother banana will quickly recover from loosing some corm. Also, one...

Here you go bencelest. Hope this helps! The search feature on this forum is quite useful as well if you are looking for the "perfect" soil recipe.
