Re: Growing a Travelers Palm (Ravenala Madagascariensis) indoor
i got in contact with the gardener
the plants are strelitzia
i did not realize they got so big as these are large specimens
they also have bananas and i got the back story
they were donated by the toronto zoo twenty years ago!
the gentleman has eaten fruit from the plants on several occasions and on a good year
half a dozen will be flowering
he said they bring the plants in at around 10 C overnight temperatures
which is sooner than i bring them in
he said they try to avoid damage and unhappy plants
