Re: Anyone heard of these?

Yes. Were not that large for me. Probably a climate issue.

Re: Should I cut off banana rack now that it's getting colder?

If it is still putting out bananas it is way to early to harvest. Leave it as long as the temps are above freezing. generally they need 6 months after flowering to mature the fruit before ripening

Re: Red and White Iholena - Tissue cultured from Iholena Lele

In my experience both have red blushed undersides to their leaves. Red was very cold sensitive. White less so.

Re: Ice cream banana question

Increasing warmth will increase survival chances. Artificial light, if indoors would be good.

Re: Fertilization Program and Tips to get Sword Suckers to Come up.

Heavy fertilization does seem to simulate pupping. Water suckers seem to be somewhat random, but more prevalent on a weak or stunted parent. Each variety has it's own time to pup, some early in the...

Re: New Leaves Emerge With Yellow Tinge Color

Pix would help. I would suspect a fertilizer deficiency, but also some varieties tend to have some streaking of color variation. If the following leaf is normal, problem solved. Leaves tell you about...

Re: Dwarf Namwah Flowering Question

Looks like a regular leaf though a little short, with another one following already. The easiest way to identify a flag leaf is not by it's length, though it is usually shorter, but by the different...

Re: NC Orinoco late flowering--fruit still possible??

If you can keep it warm where it is there is some hope. If it is truly about to flower, digging it up will shock it and it will still flower, but will likely have small or abortive fruits.

Re: Banana Tree Not Growing/Flowering

Maybe it is a very dwarf variety. Otherwise, needs more water and fertilizer.

Re: Banana leaf shredder that doesn't clog

It might help to run some regular tree cuttings every so often which might help keep clogs from forming.

Re: How do I grow this!

That sounds like it was a full grown plant. Likely will not regrow. Most likely scenario is the corm will send up several pups.

Re: Is Musa "Ice-Cream" the same as Namwah?

Very different, but if you buy an Ice Cream/Blue Java at a big box store, odds are nearly 100% it will be a Tall Namwah.

Re: Did I kill my banana plant?

Adding a small light bulb under the cover helps keep warm. 40-50 watts incandescent (not LED) provides quite a bit of heat. There is also always the possibility that the corm will send up suckers in...

Some varieties have spots when young that disappear with age. Have never seen them on Praying Hands or Thousand Fingers.
