I put them in the ground with some fertilizer. Till now i didn't noticed any growth yet ! ( 4 days in the ground ). I'm already starting to worry a bit,
With your help and the help of the internet, maybe I can discover the scientific names of these tastefull beauty's.
Rulo is really really a good tasty banana ! it's good cooked and when you eat it mature. It's a short thick banana. I can really recommend this one !  |
Hi palmpje, welcome back (sorry, still don't know your name).
So, first things first...
We definitely hope to see some pics from your vacation soon, you don't have to be on them, if you don't want to, but remember, that you went to tropical paradise and not many of us will get there.
So we are curious...
Anyway, if Rulo is at least as good as you describe, that will be some feast.
It seems to be some plantain (AAB), because it tastes well both cooked and raw, but it's not 100% as everything with bananas.
You did both good and bad thing putting them into the soil. It's good because the soil is warm already, but bad, because you will have to transplant soon.
Give it some time, it will hopefully regrow nicely.
I hope to see some pics around soon.
Good luck!
