Late flowering (again)
Hello, everyone! Thought I'd take a minute to say hello since it's been a while since I've posted on here. It has been a busy year in Houston!
Three of my edible bananas flowered this year, though due to the devestating drought, mostly too late to produce viable fruit. The California Gold flowered the earliest (maybe back in August) but the fruit have still not filled out properly. They probably need another month to plump up well. My Dwarf Brazilian and Orinoco both flowered in recent weeks but it will get too cold for the fruit to mature. One more thing, I lost my Musa mannii due to the drought this year, so if there is anyone out there that I have shared this with over the years, I'd like to get a start of it back from someone. Feel free to respond to this post or PM me. Thanks! I hope you all are doing well! Take care! |
