I know I can get it to fruit in 2 years. Corm Power enables a person to grow Monster plants faster than tissue culture plants that have basically very little Corm. I have 4 flowers this year with no fertilization. Its the Banana's of Corona. Hopefully El' Nino' comes around I have some awesome stands of SH-3640, and hopefully I'll be eating FHIA-02 next year. I have a monster Caligold that is over 7' of stem w/o a flower I'm sure it will have a big flower, but all for not.. so goes life. :^)
Madwoman! Love it! I can’t believe it that your Saba has made it thru a hurricane and yet has grown that big since then! Amazing! You know that’s what I thought only buy or grow corms and not tissue culture! I also can’t believe you didn’t fertilize and yet you have 4 flowers grown? I am shocked! Good for you! Very impressed! Thanks so much for your reply & info! One more thing yeah I wish I was in zone 8-10 but unfortunately I am only in zone 6A! Hopefully one day I will be living in a warmer climate! Fingers crossed!
