Re: Fastest Growing Banana Variety
Same here. I thought I just had a bad plant.
So far the Namwah is the fastest growing for me. TC to flower in 11 months here in zone 8b.

Re: Fastest Growing Banana Variety
I didn't mentioned it because it's the slowest plant I've grown.
Maybe it will get faster, but it's still under 12 inches and I've had it for 2.5 months.

Re: "RED" Banana Pup...But Mom Looks Like
Lots of varieties put up pups that are initially red, but later look like the parent plant. Based on the mother plant, it's an ABB genome banana, maybe Orinoco or "Namwah".

Re: What am I doing wrong?? Is my pup dying?
If you noticed 2 weeks ago, in the top photo, you can see the pronounced veins in the leaf. That is a prime example of a plant that has stopped pushing, choked, or stuck.
