Hi
I signed up to look at more threads so I thought what the hell ill make some posts. I planted a "Blue Java" today. I was doing some googling on the species and came across this site. Have now been here a few hours reading haha.
Anyway I am from Australia up north on the east side in the state of QLD. First time banana grower. Its pretty hot and humid here perfect banana growing weather except for the lack of rain most of the time.
I also have 3x banana plants I picked up from a nursery on our way back from holidays down south a bit. They are now growing really well. The fella we got them off said they were lady finger/sugar bananas but cant be sure till they fruit.
heres a pic of my crop.
I am fairly new to gardening, most things I have tried to grow over the years has just died on me, now im a little older (maybe mature) im enjoying it and putting the work into making stuff actually grow. Ill try to post some pics of the plants growing over summer to show how fast they are actually growing.
