Re: Good fertilizer for bananas?

Re: Looking for: True FHIA-1 Goldfinger
Well the fake one I've got is fantastic. There have been musings between some members that the "American Goldfinger" is an offtype of true FHIA-1. I have no way to really confirm that though. I...

Re: Good fertilizer for bananas?
PR Giants has posted about one of the fertilizers I almost exclusively use. Grass clippings. Lots and lots of grass clippings. The banners love it and I don't give a dang about my grass anyway. In a...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)
Hey PR,
Hope you are well. I am a special kind of person as you say. I believe the variety that you and I have debated the most about was the 3640. However, I haven't cut off the male bud this...

Just had some in my yard. Your report is just about spot on with my experience. The only other way I would describe it is as if someone blended a goldfinger with a kandarian. Goldfinger so far is...

Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
Well the wind huffed and puffed and blew another bunch down last night! I had a heavy bunch of nearly ripe FHIA-3. They were supported with a "fork" i made out of 1" pvc pipe. The wind snapped the...

Re: Tu'u Ghia Taste Report
Sounds a little tricky with the fingers snapping off when green. I doubt I will get a chance to grow that one, you are lucky.

Re: Banana Core Quality
I think that picking it too soon was indeed the issue. I don't think Kandrian is one of those varieties that you can pick early without to many ill effects. Similarly SH3640 is definitely not one...

Banana Core Quality
Anyone know what might affect the quality of the core of a banana? My recent harvest of Kandrian has a bit of a tougher core. The texture is also somewhat off. My current guess is that I harvested...

Had another bunch of GM fall down. About half filled. Salvaging it might be a possibility. Is harvesting at this stage safe to eat? I really don't have time to jack with trying to fix it nor do I...

The double mahoi isn't awful, but as far as fruit goes it isn't that interesting. The multiple pendicules are one of the man reasons people grow it. The fruit isn't much better than a grocery store...
