Re: How late to dig up Pups?

I agree that you should wait before separating. If you wait til after your trip, then you would still have 6-10 weeks of good weather for the pups and the parent to recover. The longer you wait, the...

Re: Most Common Banana In North America...

Ice cream grew about twice as fast as my orinoco in the 1st year. Orinocos seem to transplant more easily in my experience, which may explain their dominance.

That's a beautiful flower. Those big petals almost remind me of a hibiscus

Re: Orincco Bananas

I had this happen to me this spring. Every time i would cut the stems, it would just rot away after a day or 2. Luckily every stem that died produced 2 pups and now they're getting huge!

Re: Too small to leave out?

I agree with Dablo- pot 'em up fot the winter, but you could leave 1 or 2 out just to see how they do. That way, if they make it, (or don't) you'll have a better guesstimate of how big and...

Re: yuk... the cold nights start tonight

We got a predicted low of 48 thursday night... 60s and 80s are nice, but this dry air is really bad for the aloe plants. Old man winter's on his way:0519:

Re: Dwarf Cavendish

Iv'e never overwintered a banana indoors, but as far as pups go, 1-2ft should be plenty. Go with a sword-leaved pup if you can wait (unlike me :ha:)

Re: Too cut or Not to cut?

I'd agree with the above poster, except for I only cut mine when they're brown. Don't forget to add the dead leaves to the 'ol compost pile! :ha:

Re: Just took some pics...

Great Yard Randy! I'm wondering what kind of plant that is at 59 and 60. My neighbor has a large tree of that and it's puzzled me for months. Nice lush yard, keep up the great work!
