Re: Containers and fruit

I have had White Iholena and Raja Puri fruit in 45 gallon pots . I used potting soil mixed with perlite. I would advise staking any fruiting pseudostems . Given our California Santa Ana winds.

Re: Chronic problems with Sunburn and Rot

Talked with a guy from Pakistan. He suggested planting corn around plants to shade them from the sun. I haven’t done it but it sounds interesting.

Re: Chronic problems with Sunburn and Rot

Re: How Well do Banana Plants Grow in California without Care?

Depends on the specific location. Near the coast in Southern California would be the best possible scenario in my opinion.

Re: What are these?

I get the same looking thing in Monterey Park , CA. I am guessing they are a Namwah variety. Try to pickup the fattest kind. The thinner ones sometimes are not completely developed in the center.

Re: Potting up a musa basjoo mat

Hi Musjtaq
What percentage of bleach are you using? I assume your diluting it with water. Powdered or liquid?

Re: New to banana plants!

Hi Kristen
You might consider buying on of those two prong water indicators . I have lost a lot of plants with overwatering. I would only water if the soil is dry.

Re: Using banana leaf as liquid manure

Some plants are allelopathic so putting them near your plants may be a disaster. I would first check on the net. I use very decomposed material around my bananas.

Re: Looking for banana seeds

Sego Nursery in Valley Village not too far from you has a few varieties. But choose carefully . Sometimes they have mushy pseudostems.

Re: Brown burn spots on leaves (pic)

My Raja Puri here in the San Fernando Valley (So Cal) started off this year with partially burnt looking leaves but the subsequent leaves are fine. Is that an Ensete Maurelli you have?
