Re: Germinating Musa Velutina

I bought 10 seeds and the seller said to expect 50% germination at best.

I let them soak in water for over two weeks (I forgot about them) and 6 have sprouted :-)

How is this possible

I have two Zebrina Rojo, one in ground, another in a pot. Both are doing well.

From "I don't if I do not have permission" to a shovel, that's the spirit.

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?

Yeah, Sabarra are like that, it drives me CRAZY :-) I planted my first in 2011 as a 6' tall 7 gallon, and this year was my first decent crop, every year is better than the last.

Knowing I could and...

Re: broken leaves

Whew, then maybe I'm OK. Ordinarily by the time my plants flower and eventually give me fruit there are LOTS of leaves everywhere!

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?

I have two, a tropic sweet in ground since 2/2011, and a tropic beauty which I planted in 2013.

The first is a HUGE disappointment but the tropic beauty has given me 4+ dozen peaches so far this...

Re: broken leaves

Ut oh... I break that rule all the time. Is that like a life or death rule?

When I'm pruning I take off anything going over a neighbor's fence, green or not. I'll also take off green if it's growing...

Re: Time to separate the pups for the Spring

A manual grass edger works too, welding skills not required.

Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?

It's a MAJOR hassle. I have 10 coffee trees and I planned on having 12, one to satisfy coffee needs for each month but I stopped at 10 because the skinning, drying, roasting and grinding is such a...

Re: Edible Zebrina Rojo

Thank you very much!

Maybe it's the climate down here in North Broward? We have not had really cold weather here, but it's REALLY good to know it may be sensitive. Now that I know this, just to keep...

Re: Getting zebrina to flower?

Judging by my Zebrina growth habit, it took over a year to flower, and even LONGER to fruit.

Mine seems to be seedless and edible. See main discussion for pics. Mine is just now (one at a time)...

Re: Edible Zebrina Rojo

OK, nobody has an edible fruiting Rojo... pups are $1000 each :-)

Seriously, if anyone in So Fla wants cuttings, I'll be more than happy to give some away, but I DO NOT, and WILL NOT ship anywhere...

Re: Florida
