[quote=smeash;340298]So last year was my first full year growing bananas. I started ordering plants in december of 2019, with 6 "blue java" aka namwah TCs from wellspring gardens. That kicked off the addiction, and i added a blue java and raja puri pup from my neighbor up the road Akula. After visiting his plantation, I knew I was hooked! I ordered a pisang keling and viente cohol from Larry, and then in July went through the process of importing an AEAE from Indonesia. Greenie helped me save that plant and get it growing again, and its now in the ground. Next I added a dwarf red from Cincinnana, and he was kind enough to send me a bonus plant in the box.. a Bordelon. Beautiful plants both! Then AaronTT and i traded a Thai black for one of my namwah pups.. and finally this week a praying hands, again from Larry.
This spring has been super exciting, as all of my first gen namwah TCs are flowering, as well as my blue java and RP pups from Akula! I currently have 7 flowers in various stages of bloom. However, all current flowering plants have only 2-4 leaves so ripening those is in question. My second generation namwah pups should all flower in june however, with a full complement of leaves.. Gonna be an exciting year in my yard! Thanks to everyone on the forum who brought me from TC to mini plantation in just over a year!
