Re: dwarf ducasse black stuff on leaves
Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't done anything yet. No idea what all those insect carcasses are. There is an almost ripe bunch of bananas on the adjacent tree that I don't want to get any...

Re: Banana Bags
Hi all, I am looking for some general advice on this. Not sure if bags are the answer.
Do the bags speed up the ripening process, and does it come at the expense of taste? I live in southern QLD,...

Re: Green bananas have brown spots
I have similar looking spots on my first bunch of dwarf cavendish bananas. They are about half size. I think the plant was grown from some type of cutting. Got it as a very small plant. The plant is...

Re: Ladyfinger
I'll leave the knob on and get some photos of the male flowers. I have always chopped them off so not sure what to expect. If it is a new variety can I name it after myself? Either that, or something...

Re: Ladyfinger
So we are back to unidentified?
Can you suggest a specific variety of Pome?
We were discussing Mysore earlier and decided it was not that because of the colour of the leaf stem, however I can see a...

Re: Ladyfinger
I have no idea what others grow in their garden. I have only just started looking into it. I am mostly comparing it with what I can get in the shop, which tastes pretty bland in comparison, and also...

Re: Ladyfinger
I had a bit of a google, and the way the skin turns black on Manzanos does not look familiar. I'll get some photos as these ones over-ripen. Also, I see photos of ripe and over-ripe bananas still on...

Re: Ladyfinger
I'll bring a chair down tomorrow and get some more photos. It's hard to get good ones because they are a bit high. The bunches hang down, between 45 degrees and vertical.

Re: Unknown Flower
No idea of the variety. They all look the same to me. But a question: why are all the leaves chopped off around the flower?

Re: Ladyfinger
I had in my mind that they were sugar bananas recently, but I cannot remember why.
They do not have the red centre down the leaf, so probably not Mysore.
A lot of the ladyfinger photos I see have...

It has been in the state at least 40 years, probably over 50. Both of the grandparents who had them are dead now. No idea where it originally came from. I think they were in the Gympie (QLD) area...

Ladyfinger
Hi all, this is an old family variety that we call ladyfinger, but I am a bit skeptical of that because it tastes and handles differently to the ladyfinger bananas in the shop (in Australia). There...
