Hello

AaronTT · 07-11-2020, 05:41 PM

Hello,
I was a previous member named Bamboo connoisseur, but have since had my old email acct deactivated. So I have decided to start a new one. My name is Aaron.
Currently I have growing: Florida tall green Cavendish, Black Thai, Manzano apple, and a dwarf Cavendish. I hope to aquire Namweh, both the regular and dwarf Gros Michel, Grand nain, Mysore, Goldfinger, Pisang, and more.
Right now I have the tall green Cavendish fruiting as well as an apple. The apple fruits seem quite tiny compared to the other.
I also grow other plants such as mangos, including Orange sherbert, Valencia pride, Maha Chinook. I grow avocados too, including bacon, and my personal favorite the Brogden. I also grow many types of bamboo including some of the largest bamboos known such as Dendrocalamus giganteus. I also grow other edible plants.
I look forward to good conversation, trades and such, and learning. Thank you for such a great site, and helpful people.

I do have pups available for the apple manzano, and Florida large green Cavendish. Black thai pups will be available soon, and will be reserved for trade

Hey Aaron.. welcome back! I would certainly be interested in a thai black pup should you get one, and I have plenty of tall namwah to trade if you were interested. Where are you located? Thanks!

Thank you. I am from central Florida in Geneva.
That trade sounds great! I will let you know as soon as I have a pup available. It should not take long.

Do you have any pics of your thai blacks? Do they really have a black pstem? Some of the photos ive seen show really black features, and some are very minor.. was wondering what real ones actually look like. Thanks!

AaronTT · 07-19-2020, 11:54 AM

Hello, yes they do have a good deal of black to dark deep purple on the p-stems and leave stems. It darkens until about medium to tall stage and then the stem becomes more green as it matures. It will retain the black leaf stems though. I am trying to upload a couple pics, will do so once I can.

Hi. Welcome back.

I'm in Sanford. Have Orinoco for sure and 5 others I purchased that are undetermined: Manzano, Gros Michel, Namwa, Majoi and Pisang Raja. Would be willing to share with u when I'm sure of ID's. The Raja fruits and looks more like a Manzano.

Here's to the Manzano being something else I like. Frankly, I won't complain. The Orinoco was a gift and I wouldn't have chosen that variety. Turns out it's quite tasty and I can't wait til they ripen (2 bunches as I write).

Hi, nice to meet you.
I hope they turn out to be true. Thank you for the offer, and hope to share a few pups.

I have been on a roll just like butter, lol. I just picked up my first I'holena, which is tigua. Also picked up Dwarf brazilian, Klotek, and Goldfinger. I have a rare Fe'I coming too. Looking forward to sharing and trading pups.

Has the fe'i come yet? What kind?

AaronTT · 10-05-2020, 09:38 PM

I did, but killed it lol. It is a Fe'i aiuri. I made the mistake of leaving it in full sun, and it was a tc. Its a disappointment, as I really wanted this type of banana. You live and you learn. I will try again.
