Hi,
I thought I would post this here as the other section I posted in doesn't seem to have much traffic. I hope this is OK.

I have a Musa Belle (Pisang Raja) that I planted on April 27th.
I cant seem to find to much info about these trees.
It was/is about 3 feet high when I planted it in full sun in semi decent draining soil with a little bit of potting soil added to the dirt.
I live in Northern California near Eureka in Zone 9.

I have read that I should maybe mulch it and use some kind of tropical fertilizer and maybe some Epsom salt? but I don't know what I should use or how much or when.

Can somebody tell me some pointers on what I should do,how to feed it and water it and anything else that is important to know?

I don't have a green thumb(?) so any info would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for what may seem like simple questions to you all but I really want this tree to do well.

Thank you,
Bananers

Hi bamboochik,
Well,I hope its just a reaction to the poisons sprayed on the plants.
I guess the only way I will know for sure is when my tree yields some naners.

Thank you

Hi,
I have a problem with eating bananas as they make my throat itch real bad and make my mouth/tongue feel like it is swollen.
This is with store bought bananas so I am hoping that growing my own(I just bought my first tree(Musa Belle-Pisang Raja) to try and grow) I wont react the same.

I really like bananas so it is very disappointing that I cant eat them.
I was wondering if anybody might know what is causing this and/or maybe a cure?

I was thinking maybe it is something that is put on at the store or maybe before arriving at the store?

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thank you
