The only banana I had no problems is Brazil dwarf. It just keeps growing. I removed 2 pups and another came out. Nice. I recently got 2 more from FHN and they are really growing. Pisang Raja.Ladyfinger and Pineapple(dwarf Rajapuri) are growing great so far. I would like to have Cavendish and Grain Nain do the best, but I am having some problems with them. I may have to make do with ones that grow the best.
6/29/13. One of the pups died.The other is growing ok. In fact 2 more came out.I set those out. I went from 6" to 12". See how that works. A week later and another strong one has come up. I wonder how many I can get before it fruits. Be careful when cutting pups. If the sprout comes from underneath, you might cut it off above the roots and kill it. Dig around it and check for roots first. Maybe I can set a record. Got to check it is well anchored. Don't want to cut too many roots. Must be what Going-Bananas does. The Ladyfinger types pups come up large. Cavendish are very small and do not grow fast. I like the taste of Cavendish much more.
10/10/13 The Brazil is blooming. So 15 months from FHN to bloom. It will have enough time to fill out before any freeze. So looks good.
