Would've been my biggest bunch ever...
 

But a windstorm knocked the pseudostem down the night before we returned from vacation. 38 fingers too! May not sounds like a lot to you guys in Cal. or FL, etc., but for my zone 7a yard it would have been a record. My previous best bunch was 15 fingers. Tall Orinoco:



It bloomed in the latter part of July, so I would've been able to harvest them before frost and let them ripen the rest of the way indoors. I do have two more bunches going though, but this one still stings a bit!

What a bummer!!! That was a nice size bunch of orinocos.

I've got a bunch of Orinocos hanging that's not much bigger than that. Serious bummer.

Re: Would've been my biggest bunch ever...
 

Yeah, bummer is right! You can bet that my other two bunches are securely propped up right now. My usual bunch size is about 2 hands with around 10 fingers or so total. I was giddy when I saw this bunch opening up with 20 fingers on the first two hands! Oh well...

On a side note, I do have 28 fingers on another bunch, and 16 on the other one. I must be doing something right with them this year! I think the muriate of potash helped a bunch.

It sucks to lose any size bunch, especially in your climate zone. Good luck on the others!

Re: Would've been my biggest bunch ever...
 

Oh, that so totally sucks!!!

Re: Would've been my biggest bunch ever...
 

What a bummer Frank, sorry about your loss...

Ouch....sorry to hear about that. Its been a rough summer overall. Killer Freeze on Easter and now in the midst of an extended drought. I would guess things are very dry over in Knoxville too.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Maybe next year things will be better. Red
