Re: 2018 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida

I have a Namwa bunch that filled out after only three months. You have a good chance to get mature bananas before frost is a problem.

Re: What to do after cold damage?

Banana plants in shaded spots such as under tree branches are protected better from frost over night especially if the temperature is not more than a few degrees below freezing.

Re: Banana corm disaster!

I also had problems with internal corm rot last year. There was no evidence of corm weevil or nematode damage. The cause was probably fungal rot from too much water.

Re: El Nino

I agree, the SH 3640 bananas are excellent quality. I have one SH 3640 plant with a bunch filling out now. Hopefully you can continue with your success growing bananas. It is a wonderful hobby.

Re: Goldfinger bunch has spots and seems to ripening far too soon
