Re: Differences in growth rates of bananas-AeAe vs Siam Ruby
To me the 'Siam Ruby' is way to close too the AeAe. Lilith , by the look of your Greenhouse you know how to grow plants so why would you plant two Musa six inches apart ? By now the Siam Ruby is getting little feed and little light. My Brian's Botanicals 'Siam Ruby' is doing great has always done great and has produced about twenty pups in the last year.Siam Ruby is very fast growing for me but it is not a huge musa, pups tend to out grow the main stem in terms of speed. Siam Ruby produces fast growing short lived leaves that are pretty delicate and prone to damage. I think comparing the two Musa is like Apples and Oranges , they are so different in every way that it makes little sense to compare them . The poor 'Siam Ruby' by the AeAe is still trying , there is a pup or two there judging from the pic. Just dig the poor little thing up and move it.
Later
Steve
