Forum: Cold Hardy Bananas 09-28-2007, 03:27 PM

Replies: 6 "Marginal" Protection Views: 2,475 Posted By Mike Lee Re: "Marginal" Protection Last winter in Northern California was one of the coldest in 17 years. I'm normally a zone 9 with lows in mid 20's. But we had 2 nights back to back with lows of 17 and 18 F. All my bananas (4-7 ft...

Replies: 9 Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? Views: 3,306 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? The thought that bananas were first overwintered in England has a certain ring of truth to it! They were incredible collectors of all kinds of plants from their colonies. I've heard of references to...

Replies: 9 Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? Views: 3,306 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? Frank- what gave YOU the idea you could store bananas under your house? I'm also curious what varieties that didn't store well for you. Zac- I'm in a fairly mild climate that has a week or so of...

Replies: 9 Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? Views: 3,306 Posted By Mike Lee Under the house overwintering. Where did this come from? I think it was 2 years ago, when I first saw Frank's (Bigdog) photo showing a dozen or so bananas lined up on the ground like so many logs that he had pulled out from under his house. That photo just...

I just started reading this thread. I can't believe you have a wife that lets you dig moon craters. Maybe she figures if you don't get around to finishing she'll convert it to a...

Replies: 38 I think one of my Ice Cream's has a Flag! Views: 4,371 Posted By Mike Lee Re: I think one of my Ice Cream's has a Flag! Thanks Frank! But I'm not sure that it looks much different than any of the other leaves. Is it because you've been getting big leaves and then all of a sudden you get a small one? Is that a flag...

Replies: 93 Last California Gold of the year!!! Views: 15,573 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Last California Gold of the year!!! I'd have to agree with Mike. This has been a fun discussion to read. I recently bought one of Jeff Earl's Calif. Golds on Ebay and I was happy to pay the $50 or so it cost. I don't think Jeff Earl...

Replies: 93 Last California Gold of the year!!! Views: 15,573 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Last California Gold of the year!!! I'd say that we're in a 9b zone. We're about 15 miles from the ocean so that moderates the winter lows. Of course, what we don't get is blistering summer heat. Most summer days start at 50 deg, get...

Replies: 93 Last California Gold of the year!!! Views: 15,573 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Last California Gold of the year!!! MikeVan in Texas, You've piqued my curiosity! What kind of protection do you give your bananas in Zone 8? Are there other folks growing in Zone 9a or 9b without any protection? I have the following...

Replies: 15 Plant Labels Views: 2,826 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Plant Labels I've always used those aluminum ones with the teeny wire attached that you scratch in the name. That works fine for small branches on most trees, but I'm a bit baffled by how to label bananas. I...

Replies: 12 Apple vs Brazilian? Views: 3,824 Posted By Mike Lee Re: Apple vs Brazilian? Joe, by the way, thanks again for the dwarf brazilian pup and for the common name assistance! Mitchel, it sounds like the Hawaiian Apple can be quite a monster plant. Apart from the orange flesh is...

Replies: 12 Apple vs Brazilian? Views: 3,824 Posted By Mike Lee Apple vs Brazilian? Alright just when I thought I was getting things figured out, I find myself confused as ever on what I've got. I originally bought an "Apple" banana plant from Greenearth's web site. And they...

Replies: 5 CRFG Banana Seminar, Aug 12, 2006. Views: 2,150 Posted By Mike Lee Re: CRFG Banana Seminar, Aug 12, 2006. That's terrible scheduling for me. I'd have dragged half our CRFG chapter down to hear you, Joe. I'm sure that your experience growing in such a similar climate zone would have been just what we...
