Re: Large banana plants no roots - any advise?

No, all jokes aside, bananas are just one hobby, I keep very busy, and the time passed faster than expected. I had two mats bloom this summer.

Can someone confirm this is a Manzano bloom?

I've got (what I believe to be) a manzano blooming. Can someone who has this variety confirm that this matches their blooms? Thanks in advance.

Re: Name this banana?

Thank you. Given the maturity of the mat at this point, I'd be surprised not to see a bloom soon. I'll post a pic when I have one.

As you can see, from 1 plant with...

Re: Manzano flowering in Phoenix!

I don't have an exact measurement, but I would guess it's a bit over nine feet to the flower. That's based on the 10-foot wall I can see behind it, it's a bit shorter than that.

Re: Manzano flowering in Phoenix!

I acquired it as an apple sized corm, with no roots or above ground growth two summers ago (this will be the third summer). It is pretty established now though, and has three large psudo stems, and...

Re: just tried to grow my first pup= Failure

You're in Arizona? Bananas grow well in Arizona, but struggle to build roots in the dry soil, as well as to acclimate to the intensity of our sunshine. I start everything first in a pot where I can...

Hi guys, we had a lot of rain the last two weeks, & I noticed that one of my plants has picked up a soft spot.

Would you cut this out? Or let the plant try to resolve it on its own?

I usually cut...
