Re: Saba vs. Kandrian

It's been about 3 months since the Saba was planted. The Kandrian had a huge head start and has really taken off! Saba has really started to grow fast in the last month!...

Re: Saba vs. Kandrian

I grow them both. They are neck and neck with respect to height. Growing conditions seem to be the main variable. The Saba is a more impressive plant to me, because the overall form and leaf size is...

Re: Massive Plants

That thread was my inspiration. Absolutely beautiful Saba you had! I hope to challenge it. Maybe the shrimp shells were the secret ingredient.

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

The 10 & 11 foot Veinte Cohol produced bunches similar in size to the 8 foot plants, just takes longer. Every banana cultivar that we've evaluated so far has had better field production when grown in...

Re: KRU source/info ?

Growers have reported Kru sulks when exposed to temperatures 40F or below, so if that is true, this cultivar isn't very cold tolerant.

Jeffaro, I have not seen many people growing the Kandrian variety. It was collected from Papua New Guinea in the late 1980s. I think it would be worth a try in your area. The field testing in south...

Re: tissue versus corm or pups

Just to clarify and add to what Ty has posted, all banana plants have a corm no matter how they were produced (from tissue culture, a sucker/pup, or even seed). The corm of a banana plant is the true...
