Re: Pineapples....
Abnshrek is right--mine are in 2-3 gallon size pots--I just add a small handfull of 10-10-10 every couple weeks in the summer. Mine are not even in full sun.

Re: Pineapples....
I have 2 pineapples that bloomed this summer--one is almost full size and should ripen soon, the other is about half size.

Re: Blue Java
I just went back and looked up where I got my Ice Cream--it was Green Earth. Does anyone know if the Ice Cream from there was true?

Re: Upper Gulf Coast members get-together
I think Raji Puri is better than Orinoco for thiss area--It blooms quicker and seems to be about the same as far as cold hardiness. The 3 varieites that I have that survived the winter of 09/10 are...

Re: Beer, Beer, Beer
I am definitely a fan of brown beers, I do not like a lot of hops. I had a coworker that made a lot of beers and he had a chocolate brown that was awesome.

Re: My Red kru growth
I have to say, it is looking more and more like my unknown red is a kru. I have had at least 6 pups. I am surprised at how many are growing them considering how cold sensitive they are.

Re: Separating pups earlier than I probably should
A few weeks ago I cut an Ice Cream pup with no roots. I put it in a pot with compost and put the pot in a clear plastic bag and set it in the shade. Did the same with a pup I got from Abshrek and it...

Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?
I cut off one of the 3 pups on my IC, but it had no roots--so I potted it up and bagged it and moved it to the shade to give it a little better chance of making it. I think I will wait to cut one...

Re: Pups: Container grown vs. in ground bananas
I tend to keep a new variety in a pot until I know how well it can handle our winter. Once I get a few pups in the container, I plant it inground and collect a pup to hold in a container for backup....

Like Salty said I would cut it back to clean tissue. That may mean almost half of the stem. I would put it back in filtered sun until you see some new growth. Did the plant have good roots when you...

My Orinocos took 4 month to start turning yellow on the stem. You can harvest some of them green and use as plantains. Once you cut the raceme, they will all ripen at once--so unless you want a bunch...
