Banana Progress

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 08:56 PM

I wanted to start a thread about the progress of all the nanners I got from Chris (Rmplmnz) and keep updating it periodically :-) Here is a picture of the jeep once we had it all loaded.

This is my nephew helping me plant, he carried this rose about 75ft to the bed we were planting it in!

My protector of the bananas by my Dwarf red.

Here is a list of the varieties I got from Chris, I'm not sure how many links we can include in each post so I guess I will post 3 pics per post! Hopefully this works!

Varieties I got
Praying Hands
Rajapuri
Ice Cream
Lavender Ornata
Saba
Bronze Ornata
Rose
Monkey Fingers
Dwarf Red
Dwarf Brazilian
African Rhinohorn
Pitogo
Mysor
Orinoco

:-) I'm one happy camper

and can't wait for them to grow. I will follow with pics of them in their beds and pots. Alot were also given away to neighbors and friends!

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 08:59 PM

I guess its only two pictures at a time! So here is the protector

These are planted alongside the house they get all of the mid day sun and are about 4ft apart, hopefully it won't be too close if I remove pups as they come.

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 09:01 PM

There are 4 ornata's planted here with canna lillies in between them.

These guys I wasn't sure if I was keeping or giving away so I put them into pots for now

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 09:02 PM

You can see the ice cream here just to the right of the telephone pole, in the bed behind them are hidden gingers that are just now leafing out

This shows the growth on one of the praying hands, almost a foot in less than two days from where we cut the corm

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 09:04 PM

This is the bed out front by the mailbox I planted and put composted manure around the corm and then about 6-8" of compost on top

Then I mulched the entire bed

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-13-2011, 09:06 PM

This is a huge bed in front of my house, it looks small in the picture but its actually 20-25' x the same. It had existing canna, pinecone ginger, hidden ginger, crinum lilly and brugmansia (angels trumpet) I added 4 bananas to the bed and have since mulched but didn't take an after picture yet!

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-14-2011, 09:25 PM

Bed in the backyard today

Praying hands rolled open today!

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-14-2011, 09:27 PM

Bed I made by the pool with a saba in the corner, a bronze in the middle and praying hands on the end , cannas are in between

Front bed now mulched the orinoco leaf is up almost 2 feet!

Everything is looking GREAT Kat!

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-15-2011, 09:37 PM

Thank you!!!!

Today I got my first pups! The Orinoco had one this morning and by afternoon it had two! You can see one to the left and right of the old pseudostem.

I also moved the potted bananas to my newly made beach around the pool!

Jananas Bananas · 05-15-2011, 09:47 PM

Yep, I can see them.......Orinoco's are good strong puppers!

I really love your beach!!! That will be so relaxing to kick back with a cool drink and watch the bananas grow!

Yeap! Once they grow it will be gorgeous!!! I've debated putting another banana bed to the left of the beach as I have one to the right... If I do I can use a few from the pots to put in that bed.

All I need now is an umbrella for the beach LOL that spot is dead on sun!!!

GONEBANANAS · 05-16-2011, 05:17 AM

Oh they do look fab, I am so jealous of your climate!!!

Thank you! The Orinoco actually has 3 pups today! I'm so excited. Some of these I am not sure how they will take the winters here. My plan is to make sure I bring 1-2 pups of each kind inside to preserve just in case. I got these from Chris off the board and he is two hours south of me. I applied worm castings to all of the ones in the ground today so hopefully that will help them out! I have a worm bed, but its not producing its own castings just yet.

RayS · 05-16-2011, 02:15 PM

Looking awesome Kat!

Dreaminofthetropics · 05-17-2011, 07:21 PM

Look at these pups just two days later! Amazing growth!!!

ivo_nekitov · 05-18-2011, 12:21 AM

Thanks, Kat!) Beautiful pictures, and you gave me some ideas, thanks again!

hydroid · 05-18-2011, 08:19 AM

I'll bet that in your climate it will only be a matter of time before we have to cut you out of your house with a chainsaw, he he.
Chris has great plants, I got some sabas from him a couple of years back. I would love to see his place also.
Keep us posted with pics.

LOL we shall see :-) One can only hope to need a chainsaw hahaha. Chris told me that I would be mowing the pups over soon! I can't see myself using either but we shall see! How are your Sabas doing? Chris's place is AMAZING!!! We had a wonderful time meeting him and seeing his place.

hydroid · 05-18-2011, 05:29 PM

My sabas are really nice. I get alot of folks stop by in the front yard and ask me about them. I always have a waiting list when I thin the mat.
