Re: Patupi

Ty, I think mine actually is supposed to be dwarf Iholene. But since it came from Baker Creek I don't know how reliable the name is. It's funny how different they are. My house is really weird - it...

Re: Patupi

Re: Patupi

Actually, not great. Mine was just kind of sitting with one small leaf. I had it under a light in a cool room. When it started getting cooler the leaf started to brown around the edges so I brought...

Re: New to Bananas and need some Winter Advice

If you leave them in your garage and they freeze, you will probably lose them. I think if you want to keep them you will have to put them in your basement.

Re: New to Bananas and need some Winter Advice

Those are really beautiful plants. It would be nice if you could find out if they are Basjoo.

Re: I guess I am now a banana surgeon... Any ideas what it is?

Has anyone tried nematodes to try to control them? They help for a lot of borers in the soil. Just an idea....

Re: New Cali Gold has wet, black area

Thanks, but I don't think that is necessary. I just want to keep it alive.

Re: New Cali Gold has wet, black area

Thanks, Richard, but I know who I got this from and I'm sure it is Cali Gold. I understand why you say that but this one is the real deal.

New Cali Gold has wet, black area

I have had this Cali Gold a few weeks. It has been in my hoop house. The soil is a soil-less mix with a little extra perlite and a small amount of shredded pine bark. The pot is a 3 gallon nursery...

Re: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)

I have been growing pawpaws for years, both grafted and from seed. I graft my own now. I think your trees look fine. I am guessing that the trees were potted when you got them. What happens is that...

Re: Patupi

Oh, Eric! That is not encouraging! I'll use lots of perlite and hope to winter it under lights. Hope it works. It is an expensive banana so this may be a one shot deal for me.

Re: Patupi

I got Viente Cohol a couple of weeks ago. They will both be fun to have, I think.

Patupi

Re: Spider mites on my banana

I have always treated spider mites with a little castile soap in water. Spray every 3 days to disrupt the cycle. I have never heard of mites being in the soil and I wouldn't repot. Just use the soap...
