Cold Hardy Banana Test. Jun 18, 2008 12:32 AM
(Total replies: 24)
It has been a while but it has taken some time for the weather to cool down here in Melbourne but last week we had 4 frosts (mild) in a row and I figure if I want my 'cool climate' lady finger to produce some nana's next summer i had better start doing something. Question is what do i do? It is on a porch facing east and gets good morning sun. In a wine barrel not in the ground. I feed him the wash out from my worm farm. I am still stuggling to figure out which are pups and which are the tubule thingies. It grew a leaf last week but the temps will continue to drop for the next 2/12 but not get to freezing. Should i put some potting mix/dirt around its trunk (5 ft tall) plus leaves. Should I protect it in some other way? Or should I just allow him to get used to it and he can sort it out the natural way. Although nanas don't grow in Melbourne generally speaking. What changes can i expect to see in the foliage. Sorry lots of questions but you guys seem like the best people to ask, have been loving the C.H.B.T approach you should write a paper for a banana tree journal - come on there has to be one somewhere! Thanks Freyja and 'Him' Freyja

I am a new member. Last October I purchased a small 'cold climate' lady finger banana tree for my husbands birthday. It is now Feb and it is getting very big and making little trees at its base. We live in Melbourne Australia and are coming up to the cold part of the year. I have no knowledge of banana trees and any cold climate assitance would be appreciated. I talk in degrees C not F by the way. How cold is cold? Freyja |
