Re: The Monster Corm! 20+ yr old corm

Yep, I'd happily pay postage and extra for a large corm from that plant. Good luck!

Re: bananas in MN

I am interested in your questions as well. I am in western South Dakota. Zone 5a. The coldest temp I've seen here was -14 for a few hours, then back up to -5 to around zero for a few days.

Re: The correct hardiness of Musa basjoo

Could you describe "alot of protection"??

Curious... I haven't tried to overwinter since my first failure with a small plant years ago.

Can you describe the protection, size of plant,...

Re: Fruits and disease?

I have a photo on my cellphone. I just need to find the wire thingy that I used to transfer photos to my computer. I used it once, and forgot where it went to.

The banana was about 4" long or so,...

Fruits and disease?

A friend just brought some wild seeded unripe banana fruit back from Hawaii. Before I bring these into my home, I'm wondering if I might inadvertantly also introduce a disease to my plants. If so,...

Where can Itinerans var. itinerans be bought? Are they available anywhere?

Thanks!

Re: OK, so I've got mites on my indoor basjoo

I still don't have any mites since Sep. 1st Winter ever without an infestation. Systemic works. If it doesn't, you're probably not using it right.

Re: OK, so I've got mites on my indoor basjoo

You could always use a systemic inseciticide on your Basjoo. If you don't eat the fruit, you won't have a problem. A little will kill the fungus gnats, larvae, and any spider mites you might have....

Re: genetically modified bananas are here

I wonder if they could modify a banana plant to survive my zone 5 winters. Maybe cross with an opuntia from our region. :-)

Re: ensete maurelii red-creating pups

I'd say you are about to have a LOT of Maurelii's. Good luck with separating them. BTW the plant you sent me last spring is now about 5' tall. Much, much more vigorous than any of the Musa I have....

Talking Re: Two theoretical M. itinerans var. xishuangbannensis corms

This whole thread seems a bit murky to me. The simple answer would be to send the theoretical corms to me for safekeeping.

Re: ensete maurelii red-creating pups

I wonder how big you could let a Maurelii get before trying this forced pupping method?

Would the Ensete pup if it were done just as the flower emerges?

Curious.

Re: Variegated Basjoo!!?

Re: why did my sikkis rot.

Right. I agree. I'd rather have a vigorous grower. The leaf color would just be a bonus really. I wouln't trade leaf color/variegation for vigor either.

What do you know about the giant Sikkis?...

Re: why did my sikkis rot.

What do you mean by "rubbish plant"? Do you mean rubbish as in garbage, or waste? Something that should be thrown out or not worth keeping? If so, then why? Some English phrases don't translate...

Re: She's sick, but I'd like to know what she is..

The first thing you should do is get rid of the spider mites. Then start misting the leaves with cool water on top and bottom of the leaves. Keep your watering down until you can move it back outside...

Re: Bananas getting sick?

I think I'll wait until the soil warms a bit in my zone 5 before I plant mine out. Basjoos are not so hardy when they're so small. Especially when the soil is cold.
