new life to the European Section

boffcheck · 10-15-2014, 06:17 AM

Hey there,

I'd like to ressurect the European Section..

So where are you guys

pikkenix · 10-19-2014, 07:40 AM

Hi,
joined the forum yesterday and live in Sweden (unfortunatly not the best country for growing bananaplant...).
For now I am growing my plants indoors (ensete glacum, ensete ventricosum, musa velutina and some other type I cannot remeber what it was).

Reading the forum and watching photos of everyone elses bananaplants and then looking at mine I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as my plants look alot different then everyone else... See if I can get some photos up.

WojtekS · 10-19-2014, 03:31 PM

Hello,
I live in Poland. I have many bananas like SDC, DC, siam ruby, basjoo, red dwarf, coccinea, ornata, velutina, dwarf orinoco, manzano, sumatrana, helen's hybrid, maurelli and normal ventricosum. But now I'm growing my plants indoors too.

pikkenix I'm waiting for photos your the bananas

pikkenix · 10-20-2014, 03:09 AM

WojtekS, impressiv list of bananas! Do you grow them indoors whole year or do you place them outside during the summer? If so, when do you move them outside, and when do you move them indoors again, is it depending on the temperature?

Will post pictures later today...

boffcheck · 10-20-2014, 03:58 AM

hey,

it sure is depending on the temperatures since bananas can't take too much cold. A single frost night may not kill a basjoo or siki.. but most of the other varitys one can grow.

It's a good choice to get the plants outside in the sun during higher temperatures and get them back inside while the weather would kill them.

And Welcome pikkenix btw

WojtekS · 10-20-2014, 04:37 AM

Pikkenix thank you.
Boffcheck's right. At night when the temperature is greater than 10 degrees, I issue plants outdoors and vice versa ; )

pikkenix · 10-20-2014, 05:02 AM

Great info, thanks guys! Nice to have some guidelines from others.

sups · 11-11-2014, 07:41 AM

Been around in Musa for a long time, and although we don't have that many possibilities growning them outside year round I keep trying new species!

Currently musa ' Tibet' is one of the best for me!

Kind regards,

Not yet. In Poland it is kinda difficult with too short warm period. But put on greenhouse this year. Counting on veinte cohol , that one apparently has a very short cycle , so will see.

That's awesome you have Veinte cohol over there!!!
Any pics?

Here was my results with VC last year. Very fast in my 8b! Can't wait for them this year! Very cold sensitive though. They go dormant before Cavendish!

Veinte Cohol Flowering

Good luck and awesome collection!

Greg25p · 05-01-2017, 02:03 PM

I have read your Veinte Cohol raport and it good news for me. I see there is really chance I will have bananas before end of the season.
Here is picture of my puppy :
