I'm jealous! You didn't screw up like I did. I think I would have lost mine from neglect if not for my wife. Now it's like I'm trying to save a dying patient.

yepper once you make a nanner unhappy it can take along time to see if she forgives you or not.

Re: bananapups.com, tytailors fe'i aiuri tc's
 

Here is an update of mine. One got REAL unhappy with the temps in the upper 40's and strong winds. The other which is protected by larger musa and also not exposed to real heavy wind is pictured below.

the fe'i auri are the tallest ones gracing the dining room. far left is pitogo, the 2 to the right are cardaba [smaller one] and pisang raja.

in the background is a jacaranda tree [the tall stick hard to see] and a fhia 17.

the fe'i are now 19 and 22 inches stem heighth. from 15 and 16 inches at the end of October.

I left several of my big ones out and they were hit by our mid November frost. I think it was 30f or so for a few hours.

Musa Fei I can confirm has absolutely 0 cold hardiness. They make cavendish look like a basjoo!!! I still believe they will fruit in South FL and southern CA. At the time of the cold my largest outside was about 4’ tall. Big beautiful leaves!

I just added a new Mailing List/Newsletter to my website. I am doing away with my old “waitlist” and the newsletter will be replacing it. This newsletter will ONLY be used to announce upcoming rare pups and other pups/plants availability. All about plants available for sale/trade and upcoming pups/plants. NO SPAM and NO other emails.

So sign up today if your interested in my availability. I am just trying to streamline things and make it easier on me. Last year I could not keep up.

Just goto www.bananapups.com/newsletter

Thank you!

It was the old "lack of water because you watered too much and the roots died" or "lack of water because you didn't water enough" question. I think I made a mistake by up-potting it when I brought it in the house after I noticed that it was drowning and that winter was almost on me. I think the bigger pot made it harder to tell if it was too much/not enough. I tried checking the pot to see if it was dry but I was never sure. Meanwhile the leaves died, one by one. When the last one died I cut it off at ground level and repotted it into a smaller pot, hoping that it would make pups. Yay! So far I see two tiny pups! When they get a little bigger I will separate them. Come spring I will keep one in a pot and plant the other in the ground next to our house at Sargent in 9B.

Re: bananapups.com, tytailors fe'i aiuri tc's
 

Can you post pics of the pups please? I have a pup emerging from a plant I cut off that got VERY unhappy with the mid to low 40 degree weather and constant wind on it during that time.

Not much to see. The one on the right is 4+ inches and the other one is 1+ inch so far. But you asked, so here it is. I thought about when we were comparing with a yardstick! :)

Re: bananapups.com, tytailors fe'i aiuri tc's
 

so, how are they doing so far? mine are still growing in pots.

Re: bananapups.com, tytailors fe'i aiuri tc's
 

I lost one with a in the 40 + degree cold snap heavy winds.. The other planted in a sheltered area is gett ing big. I'll post updates asap. Thank you for asking.
