Re: What do you make of this?

Well, isn't this just a red-hot topic? Other than the highly specific and headache inducing terminology, I believe the major focus of these two articles concerns bananas grown as food crops...

Re: Permanent banana shelter for winter and spring

Olaf, your follow up almost made me laugh out loud, as just last week I purchased a Kumquat from a local nursery at a very good discount. So, there is already a bit of an interest in citrus going on...

Cold Re: Permanent banana shelter for winter and spring

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

As I said before, there are many possibilities, depending on your zone and climate variables. It would be nice to have a heated greenhouse, to be sure, but the cost to heat one in a northern Central...

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter

There is a wealth of information in old forum entries concerning the many techniques members use to over winter bananas. It's not quite as easy as just digging them up and putting them in a warm...

Pinwheel Re: Those ever amazing bananas!

My Ev Maurelii did extremely well for me last summer, despite a cool spring. I had several tree frogs take up residence in the water trapped in the leaf crotches, who I credit with keeping the plant...

Re: Those ever amazing bananas!

You are absolutely correct! This is the prelude to the most exciting time of the gardening year as far as I'm concerned. Going from the quiet and green monotone of winter to the explosion of color in...

Re: Banana Rookie - I need your help!

Re: "Confederate Rose" Unknown plant

Sunfish is correct. According to the picture posted, you have hibiscus moscheutos, rose mallow. Same genus but different species is the Confederate Rose. Protected, the Rose Mallow will perennialize,...

Re: How to handle the frost damage properly

Personally, giving up is not in my vocabulary. If it was impossible to grow a banana in San Diego, then I probably wouldn't bother trying. But, the world seems to have screwed up it's own weather so...

Re: Has anybody tried heaping soil over the P-stem to help them winter over? (Kansas)

The pot towers I use are to keep the rain we get out, and I use the dry peat moss (bought in vaccuum packed bales) to keep moisture away from the p-stem and provide insulation. It is a porous medium,...

Re: Not Just Banana Addiction Anymore.

I'll count myself in here! I've always referred to it as a passion for plants, but some may rightly see it as an addiction. I'm not too specific in terms of what I plant, other than a tendency toward...

Re: What is the coolest temperature before plant damage?

Re: is watering banana plants mid day bad?

Thumbs up Re: How Many Banana Plants to make a Grove

If acres of bananas is a plantation, then I would say 3 would only qualify as a "planting" of bananas. Even with a little artistic license, a grove, although having no exact defining number, would...

Re: My banana plants are having a hard start in the sun.

I'd say you are right on track with your thinking. The fresh, green and healthy growth of the plants when they were in Florida is a result of the roots being able to supply as much moisture to the...

Re: What is the coolest temperature before plant damage?
