bananas available for pick up
 

Don't know if this is the right folder or not but I have a few bananas available.
Cleaning out my mat as they have gotten a little out of hand with the pups that are not really that small anymore. Not going to ship them but they are yours if you want to pick them up (free).... I live way South FL. PM if interested.

3-4 of each:
Blue Java (the real one)
Raja Puri
Saba

Thanks.....
My parents are in Naples......I will let them know.:)

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

Great offer and thank you! If you were not so far south I would take you up to get a Raja Puri.
Just curious, how big is your Saba?

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

My Saba's are about 18-20 feet but the p-stems diameters are massive... about 46" at base. I know they would get bigger if I culled more pups and fertilized heavier. But I'm happy with their size as is. Probably will need a chain saw to cut up!

Wow! That is still impressive. I am looking forward to mine getting big. I purposely planted it in an area that is shaded until it reaches over 10 feet.

Lou Ferrigno, say hello to my little friend, lol.

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

I just spoke to Lou about this and he said that Saba would fit in a 5 gallon bucket haha


I kid I kid....I can't even imagine standing next to something like that. Simply amazing.

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

Lol, it is quite the impressive naner. The pups get big quick!

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

Damn 46" base! Photos if possible!!

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

So I used dog's leash to wrap around base to measure.. 45.5 inches (sorry I added 1/2 inch). I measured the best I could the Saba upfront... looks to be about 18' p-stem. I know it doesn't look it but the "small" pup p-stem on the right is 4.5 feet... these guys grow big and fast but the bunches take their time to ripen.

Gorgeous plant

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

Wow thats impressive! You originally said 46 diameter.. i was stunned.. you meant 46" circumference.. thats more imaginable! Still a massive plant.. thanks for sharing!

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

I said base so sorry if I confused. Yes, circumference not diameter... Now that would be a big banana I'd love to see! I've seen a Saba at about 25 feet before so mine is just a middler. Happy gardening!

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

Awesome plant none the less.. still huge!

Re: bananas available for pick up
 

I was very skeptical of 46" diameter also
