how to encourage pupping
Is there a way to encourage a banana plant to pup, or is it strictly a genetic limitation in certain varieties?

Re: fruit in container
Anita, I'm really interested in your papaya growing technique. How large a container are you using and can you say how thick the landscape fabric is around the inside of the container? Does this...

Re: fruit in container
Have you checked the banana roots in a laundry basket with landscape fabric...does it prevent them from circling? I wonder if 3 or 4 layers of landscape fabric might have an air pruning effect...

Re: fruit in container
I'd like to know more about this idea. Does the weed fabric keep the roots from circling, does it promote air pruning inside the plastic laundry basket? Are you using layers of weed fabric or just...

Re: Fruiting in container
Tytaylor, could you name (or link to) the source of the high quality landscape fabric that you use to make your own grow bags.
Thanks, John

Re: Anyone have a dwarf papuya tree?
I think that would eliminate the Hawaiian Solo (Sunset and Sunrise) variety. Take a look at the photos on this papaya seed selling website, see if anything looks familiar.

Re: Anyone have a dwarf papuya tree?
If you can call the nursery, you might try to find out what the fruit looked like that the seeds came from. Round, long, thin, fat, all of those could give a clue as to the variety...or at least...

Re: Anyone have a dwarf papuya tree?
Assuming that's a plant and not a 4 foot long fruit, that's more like it...you've saved yourself about a year's worth of watching it grow. Was that from a nursery or private party?

Re: Anyone have a dwarf papuya tree?
I'm not sure why home grown papaya seeds would be any different than farm grown, or university grown...as far as growing true.

Re: Thai Plumeria Seedling
Thanks, I didn't think about that. All the auctions I saw were from Thailand and I assumed that's just how things were.
But is it illegal to buy seeds from overseas?

Re: Thai Plumeria Seedling
When I looked in eBay for plumeria seeds, and I just double-checked...100% of the offerings were seeds from Thailand. I didn't think twice about it. But I just read that it takes 3-4 years to get...

I've been reading here about bananas needing fertilizers with high potassium numbers (15-5-30, etc...). I haven't seen any such fertilizers at the local nurseries, big box stores, so I thought I...

Re: Rooting Loquat cuttings?
