Re: I got my AeAe!
The variegation on yours looks like the Ae Ae. The florida variegated is different. Mine also had pink on the midribs and petioles. Yours looks fine.
Congrats! :08:

Re: New Banana pup - Blue Java I think
Correct, they were unripe, but the mama nana didn't give us a choice. They were far enough along, though, that they did complete the ripening process and were eventually edible.

Re: New Banana pup - Blue Java I think
Thanks for the comments.
I don't think they had reached their peak ripeness, yet. Inside color was very pale, almost white. Texture was very light, almost fluffy. Flavor very mild with a hint of...

My brother in law had these growing on his property, and I thought it looked like the 'legendary' Blue Java.

Re: Banana dwarf identification
The leaves are pretty short (esp the petioles), and there is very little height difference between where they emerge from the p-stem. No way would I think that was a dwarf cav.
Your plants don't...

Re: Dwarf papaya seeds wanted
Univ of Hawaii has Waimanalo X-77 which is described as low-bearing. Some think this means it is a dwarf papaya. It is not, it is merely one that begins fruiting at a lower height than most. Last...

Re: Red Banana Leaves Wilting
I've seen bananas grown semi-hydro (roots constantly wet), with the only problem being the size of the plant being too big / heavy for the plant to stay upright.

Re: Real deal Blue Java pups for sale!

Re: off topic / on topic - think some might like.
