    Default Holy crackamolie Batman, Flycaster's BANANA Tree lives!


    In the Fall, Flycaster gave me two Banana trees. One did fine, and started growing right a way. The other did not. It did nothing for months, then all the sudden there was a lump on it, kinda in the middle of it, I pried it open just a little. And this is what appeared two days later! wow these things are resilient. Now I got two live naner trees. Can't wait for nanner puddin'. lol

    Glad to see that they both survived.
    Now you can have a "jungle" of nanner trees.

    From what I understand it takes 2 consecutive years with no frost to produce fruit. Have never managed to get fruit on any of my banana plants over the years. Neighbors have but I have not. But like banana plants even if I dont get fruit. Hate all palms thougb.

    With all of the "cold" winters here, I have been having an abundance of fruit every year.
    My son who lives in Deland, Fl also has banana plants and we both have fruit start to form in the early winter and they continue to grow the fruit.

    I've never had any trees, but Dad used to have a friend that did and brought him the real small ones, and he loved em.

    Did the little palm nuggets ever give you anything? I have 2 that I have planted and 2 more that are coming on. Hush Huntinslabs, I like my Sago Palms.

    The palms are still in same pot but not doing anything. I shoulda planted them, wifey does not have a green thumb at all. Dono what happened to them. I'm thinking too much water. She shoulda just stuck them in the ground.
