The flower is coming down on the pup side. Is this normal for this variety?


Tall Namwa

I got this Fake Ice-cream banana from Home Depot. I thought it could be a Namwa but now I think it is a Dwarf Brazilian. What do you guys think?

The petiole canals are too closed for it to be Dwarf Brazilian. What makes you conclude it isn't Namwah?

I thought the Blue Java and Namwa have a clean rachis? Brazilian have a clean rachis but Dwarf Brazilian do not. If Namwa has a messy rachis maybe it is a Namwa.

If the mixup happened at agristarts with blue java it isn't a brazilian; I have not seen one on their website ever. I am not saying they haven't ever tissue cultured it but they haven't lately.

Yes, the rachis is normally mostly clean in tall Namwah, but sometimes the floral relicts hang on for a while. Give it some time and see what it looks like. Also, "medium Namwah" ("Misi Luki") retains floral relicts beneath the female fingers and down for a foot or two before the rachis becomes clean. And Dwarf Namwah has floral relicts down the whole rachis below the fingers.

The two new flowers and the one with the bunch and flower are on the same mat. I will leave the flower and see what it looks like in a few weeks. Thanks for all your help. I will check out Misi Luki.

7 bunches in 2015 so far, but unfortunately the mats got hit by some early morning cold temperatures in December and do not have too many good leaves to support the maturing bunches.

Photo 1: Tall Namwah #1



Photo 2: Tall Namwah #2



Photo 3: Dwarf Namwah



Photo 4: Pisang Ceylon



Photo 5: Dwarf Brazilian in the front, two Blue Java bunches of different ages in background


Not pictured are 2 "Temple banana" infloresences. One was choking and the second one looked pathetic with no supporting leaves. They both went to good use in the compost pile.
Prognosis for the remainder of 2015: maybe 13 to 17 more bunches...

My first Veinte Cohol. This sad little bunch may not develop. A couple weeks before flowering it got toppled in a wind storm. I'm surprised it flowered at all. Only has 2 green leaves left on it. Took 15 months in a spot in between two very big mats.

Here is what is blooming right now. (March 21st)

First my Ice Cream, which looks like a Namwah. New flower is pushing out and the other flower came out in early December.



Another view of the Namwah flower dropping into the Hibiscus below.


This is a Misi Luki that got fried from the New Year's Day freeze. But I'm letting it go to see what it might do.
