I am new here and I love tropicals here in Zone 6... I fell in love with the tropicals when my now husband took me to Hawaii to be married...
Hope to get to know you all.... Peggy Joy is having a relationship with Mother Earth |

Hello Peggy,
I too am in zone 6. Indiana. I'm currently growing about 8 varieties of bananas from seed. i am cheating though, I built a 1200 sq ft greenhouse last year. Makes it a lot easier to handle the tropicals. =). |

I am fairly new to banana growing as far as knowledge....but I have I think about 15 different banana plants.
I have never had bananas on any of them...oh how I hope to see that one day... I would love to post a few pics of the different bananas and palms I do have growing here but I have no idea how to do that. Joy is having a relationship with Mother Earth |

Aha I would love to see a pic of that...
I lost one of my nanner trees...it was the Maurelli / Ensete maurelli I loved that one... Does anyone on here have any pups of this one... I would sure love to replace it... I will have musella lasiocarpa pups for trade... but I have never detached pups from this one before...there are nine attached to mother plant...a few of them are about three ft... If anyone knows I would sure appreciate info... Peggy Joy is having a relationship with Mother Earth |

I just use a sharp knife to remove pups, but if they are three ft tall you may need something a little stronger.
