This nursery is really awsome and most of my banana trees are from here.
I will add it to my bookmarks. At the moment I really don't need more plants lol, but one never knows what will happen during winter. At this moment nr.1 plant at my place is D. Brazilian I got from Nelio, blooming at the moment, I'll try to grow more from it. Also have some from BAM Madeira, Manzano and Prata Ana, will see how will they handle our winter.

Wow really? My D. Brazilian is from Nelio too but every year she strugle on winter... for you the varieties you mention are cold hardy? For now the big winer is Da Jiao... it's the cold hardiest variety here by far!

By the way i'm planing to get Hajaray, Saba, Dhusray, Malbhog, Lacatan, Veinte Cohol and Chini Champa... any thoughts? Anything against any of this varieties or other i should have? Thanks!

I have C. Champa and it's doing good. Hajaray was a good for me but I made some beginner mistakes and lost it. Saba is just to tall, no way it could stand our winds.

This is what I have used with no issues.
Due to my growing zone I grow for foliage and size and if I get a flower it is a bonus.


General granular fertilizers I use for growth and size.

General purpose Triple 10 through 19 all work well and there are some forum members that use this for their bananas in the growth stage.

I do use generic water soluble fertilizers like Miracle grow(24-8-16) also.

These two fertilizers are to be used with caution and understanding that plant death will occur is misused.
46-0-0 urea for color enhancement and size.
21-0-0 ammonium sulfate for color enhancement and size.

All above fertilizers work very well for landscape plantings and general lawns feeding also.

Fellas on the forum frequently use a 16-8-24 (or close)ratio for fruiting bananas.

https://www.amazon.com/Banana-Fertil.../dp/B07HDTVRG2


There are also some good threads about fertilizer use and what brands and ratios to use for fruiting bananas on the forum.

Hey Luis - I noticed Helen's Hybrid is on your list of plants and I am just curious what has your experience with it been so far?
