Somehow I have completely missed this thread until now...
Seen all the pics before anyway, but nice to see them all together where I can scroll and compare. The growth there is unbelievable. I wish mine grew so well...
I was in Homestead and stopped by Going Bananas last weekend, wish I had the extra time to stop by and see these monstrous plants myself...
One day...

Thanks Master Beam!


My FHIA-2 Mona Lisa recovered very well after last year monster storm and the harsh winter!....At the beginning, FHIA-2 Mona Lisa was a slow grower!....Finally, she is picking up the growing pace!....

*****Pisang Ceylon (Improved Mysore) Update!*****



Pisang Ceylon has been growing nicely!......In the pictures, you see two Pisang Ceylon Nana plants!....PC main plant (right in the pictures), PC pup (left in the pictures).....It's impressive how the Pisang Ceylon pup started to grow really fast until it reached the same height as the Pisang Ceylon main plant!....Now they are growing at the same rate!....Competing each other!.....Amazing!....

Both Pisang Ceylon Nana plants are approx. 10 ft. tall right now!....As reference, the back wooden fence is 8 ft. tall!....



Pictures from 08/05/2018....
















*****An Update is coming soon!*****
