Default Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
This the first harvestable bunch of PK I have grown in 4 years.

All previous bunches were did in by cold weather.

To all of you that have grown the PK --- is this bunch fully filled in or not?

It's close enough for this time of year. Cut and hang that bunch, I'd hate to see you loose another.

I visited Unbelievable Acres Botanic Gardens this summer and Gean Joyner himself lead our group on a walking tour thru his "rain forest". Ran into 3 mats of Mysore and I got a close look. Same general appearance as my Pisang Klotek in height, pstem diameter, leaf shape and petiole length.

Especially checked the color of the petioles and they had a similar pink coloration. It was a distinctly lighter pink/red color than the darker burgundy/red wine color of my PK petioles.

Cutting down the bunch today to hang in the kitchen. Will post pics when they ripen.

Nick --- can't wait to see how much bigger your PK bunch will be growing in that mucky muck soil around the big lake.

That's because it is a Mysore. I think the jury is out on whether it really is a distinct cultivar within this subgroup, but from my very limited taste tests, I reckon PK isn't distinguishable by taste from what is sold in the hobby as Mysore.

Noted! When I start tasting my PK I'll document the details. I may have to go see Gene to get a Mysore sample for comparison.

Better yet, I'll bring him a PK to plant in his Rain Forest so that a comparison can be made on equal footing.

Thanks Mark.

That's quite a huge bunch there. How tall did the banana get? (p-stem, not leaf height)

The PK bunch is still hanging on the mat. With highs of 80F and lows in the 60s everyday the bunch might as well continue maturing.

Man, everything is budding early with this weather. If a frost hits later we will have a big mess.

Ironic, cause she started a strict diet in Nov. --- no bananas!

I'm against any diet that involves not eating bananas. I wish that Japanese one would catch on over here.
