Re: Compost

As you found out,...large compost heaps with a lot of shavings, and little moisture can lead to spontaneous combustion. This approach does not lead to good compost, and can burn your house down. ...

Re: new nanners...new trial

I use Fertilome potting mix, from one of the local nurseries. It is relatively pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for. I amend the mix with about 1/4 to 1/3 perlite, which I can get in 3 Cu...

Re: new nanners...new trial

Limited morning sun would be great. If you can mist the "Newlings", even better. I can't see where there could be a great "Cactus/Palm Mix"..? The two worlds will likely NOT meet? The sun is...

Re: new nanners...new trial

Please give your babies a little "dappled" sun as well. Without sufficient light, they will "do a Frogger" (croak). You are better to under water, than over water. Pot sizes are very good. Being...

Pinwheel Re: Is there any difference of cold hardiness etc. between TC and sucker pup?

But,...does anyone have TC bananas that have fruited...? If so,..does the fruit always appear to be identical to the natural divisions? I don't know how long nanners have been tissue cultured. ?

Hiya Re: banana coast

Appreciated your comment. Good tissue-cultured stock could certainly eliminate virus & pathogens that might come from natural divisions, resulting in a better garden performance. I only question...

Dean....I doubt if intense sunlight would cause the wilting, if Rajapuri had been acclimated to a bright outdoor environment. You have a lot more humidity than we do. That's a great help. The sun...

Re: Is there any difference of cold hardiness etc. between TC and sucker pup?

Any difference noted in fruiting, or quality of fruit...TC vs natural division? I was into Hosta twenty-something years ago. Grew over 230 cultivars...NONE from TC. Hosta were notoriously unstable...
