Thanks Kevin I'm looking forward to trying them for the first time:woohoonaner:.I overwintered the pup in my living room then planted it late April,it was approx. 3 ft tall (p-stem ) when I planted it.

Re: Viente Cohol Has A Bud
 

Also I just measured the p-stem and it's approx. 6 ft tall :08:.

Congrats Johnny! :nanadrink:

Looks much better than the 2 VC I just left bunchless tonight. :ha:

Be sure to prune the bottom hands.

Re: Veinte Cohol Has A Bud
 

Why do you prune the bottom hands? Is it so the others ripen faster?

Re: Viente Cohol Has A Bud
 

Awesome job, please keep us informed. Thanks.. Did you plant in full sun?

Re: Viente Cohol Has A Bud
 

Congrats!

Re: Veinte Cohol Has A Bud
 

Thanks Keith!!I will definitely prune the bottom:08:

Re: Veinte Cohol Has A Bud
 

Mark I copied this from another site explaining the reason...............>

"Some people break off the "bell" (the bunch of purple flower petals at the end) about 15 cm below the last female hand. That way the banana plant puts its energy and reserves into growing big bananas, and not into growing a long stalk. (Commercial banana growers also remove some of the bottom female hands, so the remaining bananas grow bigger.)"

Thanks,Johnny

Re: Veinte Cohol Has A Bud
 

Thank you! That's why I thought they did it. Good to know. I am probably still a year off from a flower on mine.
