I was thinking I should try one from each genetic grouping. It's difficult to finish the fruit even here in zone 9. A dwarf patch possibly. They sell so fast online it's hard to grab one box of them all.
Thanks!
Didn't you upload this already several years ago? I remember already seeing this.
Interviewer hogged the discussion. Why?
I'm in Tennessee I have musa basjoo Caroline King and dwarf cavendish looking to get mekong and dwarf orinoco
FYI, the closed captioning is for the program with Judith Luna and her Hellebores. Oops. Will watch without CC because I am interested in the bananas.
Looks like they're getting ready to have a duel.
Too much work for most folk.
Peace greetings. Do you remove the entire root? How much do we need to dig before re-soiling?
Great details and info here. Thnx for the vid. Love growing bananas.
Peace N Love
