![]() ![]() Got my order from Greenearth. All with nice rootballs and nice looking leafs. Most were 10" - 18". So I potted them - 1 Basjoo, 1 Bordelon, 1 Dwarf red, 1 Lady Finger, 2 Saba, 1 Rowe Red, 1 Ice Cream. Image in my gallery of the 8 sitting in new pots and hydrating. Will move them to the morning sun location and let them acclimate later today. They will be moved in again in a few days to longer sun, then out in pots to where their new beds are. (I have to dig some more...) I plan on keeping them potted for about a month then transplanting to the new outdoor home. I also plan on keeping a photo gallery of weekly shots for each. |

![]() Ah! Harvey my lists would be more than 3 bananas because I removed all the plants in my pergola plat except the Calif Gold that has fruit in it and now I have so many pups sprouting from it. Remember I waited 2 years before the first pup came and now it is compensating for its time lost. .
You ought to see my backyard now. The pergola plat is gone and the pergola was transferred to another area in my backyard. Most of the bananas were transferred to pots at least for now and will be planted close to the fence or on a hill. I'll post pics soon.
