Re: Moving sale - bananas must go
Veinte Cohol, Gros Michel and Sweetheat all have tentative buyers.
No trades on anything else, life changes forces me to move to an apartment so I don't have any yard to put bananas into.

Re: African Red: edible? is it Zomba Red or?
I have an African Red. The fruit doesn't plump up and the inflorescence doesn't produce pollen, nor will it accept pollen (I've tried with my velutina) so I'm presuming it is...

Milky Way seeds
Well looks like Milky Way produces seeds.

Re: Why Dwarf Cavendish is growing slow?
You don't have the moderating effect of the gulf being as far inland per your location map, so your mileage may vary. Here on the 8b/9a border south of I-10, I've fruited Grand Nain, Pisang Awak/Tall...

Re: Giving my new banana plant a good start
I'm presuming it is a "super dwarf cavendish" you have if it came in a 4" pot. They top out at about 4 feet.

Re: Short nana?
Wait until it goes through at least two bloom cycles. Double Mahoi usually doesn't produce double bunches until the mat is mature. Cavendish subgroup cultivars are very frost sensitive though, so be...

Re: Short nana?
Those are likely dwarf Cavs, not Namwah. Namwah doesn't have the blood spots on juvenile leaves. I've never seen Namwah for sale at any of the big box stores. Seen double Mahoi though from looking at...
