Transplanting Banana Tree sprouts/shoots Sep 7, 2007 10:52 AM
(Total replies: 8)
I would recommend you start a new thread/topic asking that question. I've not moved any of my BIG mothers as I started out with them in the right place. I was only attempting to move the babies... sounds like you have some monsters on your hands! Sounds like fun. You may want to take pictures of the trees as well, so others have an idea of what you're talking about. Referring to my banana trees (basjoo/hardy)... I do NOT cut them down during the winter. I did previously and the rate at which they grew back was MUCH slower. By March I had 5ft banana trees... simply by leaving the dead stumps be all winter long. All the best on your new banana tree family... take care, have fun, and enjoy!

Transplanting Banana Tree sprouts/shoots Aug 23, 2007 08:04 AM

As Rooikop mentioned I would wait until they are about 3ft. For what ever reason I haven't had anything survive that is less than 3ft at the time of transplant. When they are that big I just used a shovel to dig out the plant with about 5 inches all the way around... when possible. I have been fortunate enough to have roots in those cuttings, and the trees took off FAST. Less than 3 ft, I couldn't get a root and they died. 8( Most of my "core" banana trees are about 8 inches in diameter and 14ft tall. Two of the trees I transplanted when I posted this thread are now 7ft tall and full... just awesome looking. I will create another thread, but I would really appreciate anyone's input on when I might be able to see some bananas growing... They're non-edible with my type of tree (basjoo), but I just can't wait to see some fruit. Thanks!!! Dan

I would like to use shoots from some of my banana trees to fill in large noticeable gaps between my banana trees (Musa basjoo). I would appreciate guidance on doing that. How big the shoot should be before transplanting it. How much of the sub system/root system I need to get. I did a test of three so far. One was about 12 inches high with small amount of root system intact. Another was about 7 inches with some root system. I planted both of these already, hoping they will take. No visible signs of them taking to otherwise yet. It's been about a week. I dug up another; however no root system came up. I placed that in water and experienced some growth out the bottom, but no roots growing yet. Is there a way to spark some roots, so I can plant it? Will this tree survive? Any further guidance is appreciated. Please note I have several other locations to transplant sprouts. Rather than waiting until it's un-Godly hot here I would like to get all the transplanting done early... especially with all the GREAT rain we've received lately. Thank you all for your input.

Broken banana trunk May 29, 2006 11:10 AM
(Total replies: 1)
We bought some small bajoo banana trees that were about 12 inches tall. I accidentally broke one of the banana tree's trunk off right at the base. Will it come back?... this year? Any special TLC things I can do to assist in the recovery? Is it worth saving or just replace? On another note, I bought 6 other bajoos as well... they are all growing remarkably slow, relatively speaking to other banana's I've grown. I've had to cut back my elephant ears twice now, just so the bajoo bananas would be fully exposed to the sun. Any tips on feeding/caring and assisting these grow would be appreciated also. Thanks in advance! Dan

Banana tree leaves stunted growth Jul 27, 2005 09:33 PM
(Total replies: 4)
OK... after the 3rd leaf has materialized, also severely stunted it appears there are some black bugs in the very deepest portions where the leave grow ... I'm guessing beatles (similar to those that grow on canas) or something. They are not eating the leaves, but they sure are severely stunted in their growth... no more than an inch of leaf structure in width, but they are the full length. Is there any saving the tree? Is there any way to kill them? Any/all recommendations appreciated Dan Edited by dancheri on Jul 27, 2005 at 09:36 PM

I've gone Bananas!! But what kind????? Jul 18, 2005 09:23 PM

I sure would LOVE to get my hands on one of those sprouts... I am very new to banana trees... and JUST LOVE their tropical look/feel. The trees I bought last year died, so started off again from scratch this year. Hope these make it through the winter... but I can ALWAYS make room for more. ;) Take care! Dan & Cheri

Banana tree leaves stunted growth Jul 17, 2005 10:47 PM

I recently planted 4 young Maurelii Abyssinian Banana trees. Three look great and are growing as expected. The fourth looked very healthy when I bought it. All leaves were full sized. Maybe some signs of wear, which I thought were normal from transport from grower... similar to others also purchased. Since that time (2 weeks ago, it has grown 2 additional leaves, and both are VERY stunted in their appearance. The main stem/vein looks good solid. The leaf itself is no more than 1/2 inch all the way up and down that branch. They both remain curled up. They are no way close to resembling what a normal healthy banana tree leaf is supposed to resemble. I am not sure if it's a disease, a bug, a genetic issue or something else. Should I just take the tree back and get another? Will it grow out of this phase? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you! Dan

Will my Musa Banana trees come back? Apr 25, 2005 08:20 PM
(Total replies: 4)
upright is probably not the answer you're looking for.... The good news is that it was my first time last year also, and it went very well. I kept them watered well and also VERY well fertalized. They grew so fast it was crazy. I would suspect a lot of other factors such as variety, where you live, and the sun they get would pose important factors. I grew the bananas for their tropical look, not for the fruit. They also did well in hiding a less than interesting wood fence. I'm sure they'll do well by you just giving them attention. All the best. Dan

Will my Musa Banana trees come back? Apr 16, 2005 11:11 PM

In 2004 I bought/planted 4 Musa/Variegated Blood Banana trees. They really grew nicely, had several additions to the main tree. Really was an outstanding display. We live in Dallas, TX. Right now there doesn't appear to be any activity with the bulb. It was all soft and squishy on top, which I removed with a shovel. It did turn hard and tan as I dug into the bulb, it also appeared to have some kind of 'root shoots?' going in and out of the bulb. I haven't done anything more for over a week. 1) By the way things sound, does anyone think these trees are coming back? 2) Am I too far north for a banana tree to return annually? 3) Is there anything more I can do to facilitate the growth rate for return? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much! Dan & Cheri |
