Re: Thai Black
 

Hey everyone, I just ordered 2 Thai black from ebay. Ad said 5 to 12", quite a range in size. Probably closer to 5. I saw them and had to have. Don't know if they pup. Anyone
know anything about them?
Thanks Raggedy

Re: Thai Black
 

I think my Musa Balbisiana is dead to the ground. I wonder if I should dig around and look?

Re: Thai Black
 

:woohoonaner:I just noticed a small pup coming up!:woohoonaner:

Re: Thai Black
 

I think maybe mines coming back also. The reason why I say think is because I had it in a pot in my unheated greenhouse after winter I had put some of what I thought was dead in the ground well most of them started growing and I beleve one is the thai black. Im very happy because I really like that banana plant :woohoonaner:

Re: Thai Black
 

Good luck. Thats my next conquest for a naner. I'm still waiting for you guys to have good luck overwintering them before I do.:nanadrink:

Re: Thai Black
 

My biggest pstem from last summer is dead, but the 2 pups are back. One is already waist high with 2 leaves, the other is not so far along.

Re: Thai Black
 

I have one planted on my farm that made it, I had to leave 5 others outdoors in pots. I lost two of those. They are a tough Musa. Has anyone information as to if it is really balbisiana? :2239:

Re: Thai Black
 

I have a small one i ordered off of Sandy. Im hoping i can get a pup off of it this year. If i can im going to try to overwinter the mom in the ground like i did my Basjoos. The wiki says they are hardy to Zone 6 so what the hell ill sacrifice the mom if i get a pup.

Re: Thai Black
 

I received another small one from Brians Botanicals because I thought I lost my other one here is my new one.

Re: Thai Black
 

I posted earlier that my Thai black was a Musa Balbisana I don't know why I was thinking that.

Re: Thai Black
 

Why its not ? I thought it was is this not the same as a black Thai ? Now im mixed up :woohoonaner: check this out Musa balbisiana 'Black Thai' - Bananas Wiki :02:

Re: Thai Black
 

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I thought I had read that somewhere before. Plus my plant does look like that when a little older. :goteam:

Re: Thai Black

Re: Thai Black
 

It is looking nice Emily, It looks huge. How tall do you think it is now? Mine is about a foot or more now when i got it it was just a little TC plant. Im gonna get a pic of it tomorrow and put it on here finally. Glad you finally got a pup I hope mine does before winter.

Re: Thai Black
 

I bought mine a few weeks ago and then it wilted the next day and almost died but now its got a new leaf pushing out (from the soil to the top of the stem, not including the leaves, its already 3 feet tall). Im looking forward to some great growth. Its in a pot for now but if it grows well than Ill put it in the ground. I hear they can survive a zone 7. Im not sure if I would risk it, but if I get some pups eventually, I might try one.

Good luck and beautiful (and HUGE) plant! :)

Re: Thai Black
 

I just got one today from hortus119 off ebay. I can't say enough on how well packaged and healthy it is! I can't wait to see how it does when i put it in the ground!

Re: Thai Black
