Banana tree Jun 12, 2005 08:29 AM

Leave it as it is, as the mature flowered stem dies away, its refuse will be feeding the others that are growing. G'luck !

Once a banana flowers and fruits, it's basically bye bye time, thats why they have "pups", to replace themselves. I must admit that when my 1st musa basjoo hit 12' and flowered I was gutted. But its little clump of pups are doing very nicely thankyou so I'm happy again.

Just a quick reply for now as I have to go, but a 4'6" nana in a 10" pot, not big enough. nanas love water, when they have too much (hardly ever) they drip the excess all over your nice new laminated flooring !! Get yourself a big pot as soon as posssible !! Speak later ( if nobody else beats me to it ).

No problem my friend, Now is the time of year where you should be thinking of putting it outside. If in a pot (yes I know it is !!) keep it moist not drowned but that should be easy if the soil is free draining, never let it dry out though, feed it half strength tomato food twice a week this will help it and its 'pups' no end. If it was in the ground and (this goes for both types) and you could keep the min temp circa 15 deg c, it will flower and produce your own crop of edible bananas ! This is easier with the dwarf variety as you can move it back in if frost is forecast. Down side is once it does that it dies but meanwhile you should have another one coming up to take its place. Thats why the dwarf variety is easier, you can drag it in the house no bother ( o.k. a bit of bother !! Ouch me back !!) Regards P.s. Just re-read your post, put it in the sun no bother, it's the wind that will rip the leaves to shreds but I personally like the " split leaved wind swept look".

Is it a dwarf variety (lucky), or the normal (not so lucky !). In the U.K. you need to bring them indoors during winter as they need to be kept above circa 10 deg c, You're luky if its a dwarf variety as the main stem will get to about 1m whereas the normal is nearly double that + 6' leaves. Try dragging one of those in the house/ conservatory come mid October !! I too am in the U.K. (Worc's.). Edited by scoby on Jun 3, 2005 at 06:22 AM |
