Texas Star VS. Califonia Gold - Page 3

Any photos of the flower and fruit? Any semblance to known varieties?

harveyc · 09-03-2009, 11:16 PM

There might be something in my gallery, though I don't think the flower of a stressed banana is something that can be compared very well to flowers of bananas that have been grown in normal conditions. It should be the same as what Benny has flowered, though his is a potted plant so that's not normal conditions either.

Patience is a virtue. I'll have to wait until I can get its pup to flower for me.

I wouldn't think that color or form would change just because it the plant was stressed or grown in a pot. The size may be affected, but other than that, there shouldn't be that much deviation. If there were drastic deviation, then it must be because it's not the same plant.

harveyc · 09-04-2009, 01:17 AM

Chong, I'm intrigued by your impatience!

This is the only photo I could find of that bloom:

chong · 09-04-2009, 01:40 AM

Thanks. That doesn't look too bad. Looks like a CA Gold . . . or maybe. . . . .??? JK. It does look like CA Gold. I'm willing to wait until next year for the next round of fruits.

Thanks again.

I gave away pups from that plant and kept the last once which did very little last year but has finally put on some growth this year. The pup I got from Jeff also grew slowly and is now getting close to flowering height. I worry a little that both will decide to bloom in late October!

Benny, I finally remembered the name of the guy you got your CG from: Mike, right?

sunfish · 10-18-2009, 08:10 AM

My C.G. and Dwarf Namwah I can't tell the difference.

Jananas Bananas · 10-18-2009, 08:49 AM

Dwarf Namwah eh? Very interesting. Everyone was saying Dwarf Orinoco. Great pictures! Thanks Tony! ~JaNan

sunfish · 10-18-2009, 09:32 AM

D.O.

C.G.

These plants are close to being the same height.

Love those pictures!

They look great!! ~JaNan

TruthHunter · 10-21-2009, 06:09 AM

Ty Ty Nursery seems to have changed hands a few years back. Younger generation
took over? Too much smoking other "nursery" plants? Judging from the pictures on the
web site, its a possibility!
A plant from 5 years ago might have been a more reliable Texas Star. The fruit picture
they have on the site look suspicious. Looks to me like a guy eating a store Cavendish
in front of a ???...definitely didn't pick it off that plant.

You better start removing Kru pups, Tony, Jon showed us a while back how he had over a hundred!

sunfish · 11-14-2009, 11:48 AM

I know I have hundreds of pups,not just Kru. The problem is I don't have room to put them right now.
