Purchased a ton of new trees, thought I was being smart by marking the names on the trunks with a sharpie. Normally a sound idea.

But I did this on the hottest day of the year, transported them in a hot truck, and suffered 'slight' damage, nothing of any real issue.

But I failed to consider that some of the leaves and outer stem would die off.

So I have a number of really nice bananas with no bloody idea of what I have.

Funny thing was I had plenty of nice metal tags for them, and didn't put the on right away.

Oh well.... Sure hope some of these are easier to identify than they look.......

Hey Hey Hey I been there done that NO BIG DEAL....

Heck most of the nanna's I bought that had tags on them were wrong and the one's I got from other folks I screwed up and don't remember what they are either so.....I have approx 27 nanna's of which come from the No Idea variety of Banana's

May start my own Lizard Creek species of nann'a who know's..better yet who cares lol

But they sure are purdy....:}

Be safe

With some luck, I managed to ID several of the bananas, some had one or two letters on the stems that I was able to figure out what they were, and some easy ones helped to eliminate the numbers.

As it stands now, only a few remain unmarked.

I was worried I was really in the hole over this one, but thankfully, process of elimination is going to eliminate a few others. 2 Sweethearts, which will be really easy to ID once the new leaves unfurl since they are so massive.

Lesson learned..NEVER procrastinate on marking your bananas.

Have Sharpie will travel (especially the big fat one).. lol and a couple rolls of different colored duct tape work for me. I think I used the pink on the ICe Creams, and Purple on the Caligolds. Duct tape doesn't rott that I know of and comes off quick.. :^)

problem was I did use a sharpie, but suffered some damage during transport, and the sheaths that I wrote on ended up drying up and dying.

So my makeshift labeling was out the window so to speak.

heh heh. I'll know better next time.
