Checking on ID

D_&_T · 07-28-2008, 10:21 PM

We got 3 onrnicos from Jarred in Dec., nice corms. Two of them now have black petioles, while other is all green!

Will take more pictures tomorrow as they have gotten darker

Excuse raised bed thats not finished, between rain and work no time to finish it.

mskitty38583 · 07-28-2008, 10:25 PM

awesome nanas. if all the beds were done we would have nothing to do. i still have 3 that need to be finished, maybe one day.

D_&_T · 08-01-2008, 11:31 AM

Sorry
Was able to take picture other day, just not enough time to post them!

Dean W. · 08-01-2008, 01:37 PM

Wow, that's a nice one.

Tropicallvr · 08-01-2008, 04:13 PM

Never seen an Orinico that was black!?

D_&_T · 08-01-2008, 05:09 PM

Yea thats why posted the photos, wonder if Jarred sent wrong plants by mistake or we have a problem? Coz 2 of the 3 are doing that.

bigdog · 08-01-2008, 05:16 PM

That's no Orinoco! Maybe he sent you some black balbisianas by mistake.

Taylor · 08-01-2008, 07:03 PM

Could it also be Ele Ele? Not an Orinoco....

island cassie · 08-01-2008, 09:52 PM

Definately not orinoco - but what a beauty - lucky you!!

Cassie

modenacart · 08-02-2008, 07:34 AM

Lucky you, you get a banana that is much rarer than the orinoco.

natedogg1026 · 08-02-2008, 12:56 PM

That looks like a BB to me. Could be a Ele Ele too, looks like my BB.

D_&_T · 08-02-2008, 08:52 PM

Had wondered about both of those varieties as well.

MediaHound · 08-03-2008, 09:54 PM

Thats pretty crazy. Quite certain those were Orinoco that I sent you, I have never had a mixup and am extremely careful.
I did not have corms of BB to mail out back in November (mailed your plants Nov 20th) and I did not have Ele Ele corms to mail out either.
I sent you the Elephant Ears and the Ginger in one box and the corms in another, that I remember.
And all the corms I mailed out in that massive Orinoco sale I had were from Orinoco plants I had growing here that I needed to clear and make more room.
I didn't have Ele Ele pups nor Black Balbisiana (Black Thai) pups at that time.

MediaHound · 08-03-2008, 09:57 PM

Dibs on the first pup though.
If that plant sets fruit and its seedless (should be, considering), you have a real winner.
Seems something shocked them and they've morphed is my best guess and explanation.

natedogg1026 · 08-03-2008, 10:19 PM

D&T, How does the leaf color compare to the Orinoco's. If it's a BB the leaves should have a bluish tint to them and the base of the leaf should not follow the petioles but curve around and run into them on the sides (Indicitive of Balbisiana).

D_&_T · 08-03-2008, 10:20 PM

Cool...... mean a new name?

D & T, that fertilizer you are using ... it's uranium oxide?

D_&_T · 08-03-2008, 10:37 PM

Used some K-grow got years ago just few times since December.

Bananaman88 · 08-04-2008, 12:32 PM

It's Banana Twilight Zone!!!

Tropicallvr · 08-04-2008, 02:12 PM

I don't think there are any banana diseases that look like that either, so you might have a cool new type of naner on your hands.
