Re: Mutant Banana?
WoW!
78 people opened the thread and not 1 response.... Is everyone else stomped also? Maybe I should email the owner. Looks like he amputated the pstem ahead of the flag and the flower bud came out after the amputation? Anyone else tried this? I always thought the more leaves you have esp during gestation the better so the fingers plump and fill up properly? Any thoughts? Last edited by Going Bananas : 07-25-2015 at 06:18 PM. |

Re: Mutant Banana?
Yes, if you cut enough of banana p-stems, that will happen occasionally. If the fruit mature (they probably wouldn't in the example shown in the photo), they will be much smaller and fewer than a bunch from that plant if the p-stem hadn't been chopped.

Re: Mutant Banana?
That's Raja Puri that he tried to protect for the winter. But the bad winter took out the plant so he trimmed it and up came a bud.

Re: Mutant Banana?
Actually it's very common for us northern growers. I usually have one a year. I'll try to post a picture of mine later today or tomorrow.
