Burnt Banana's!

This past week week had some cold air blast the area and 2 nights in a row we got to around 31 degrees. We know from last year what happens to the nana's when it gets that cold. They get burnt, and this year I have banana's that are almost ready. I do not know what will come from the banana's that are still on the tree. They are still flowering but all of the leafs to the mother tree are dead. I wonder if the will be able to produce enough energy to fininsh the flowering. Here are some pictures of my burnt banana's I will try to name all the 1's I know. Thanks to the Banana Lady I have a few now that are unknown until they flower.

Musa acuminata , Ice Cream Banana

This Ice Cream Banana was planted in the ground back in Dec 07. Here are the current pictures. It now has its 6th pup coming up. The largest pup is acually one of the newest pups. The first pic from 1/13/08 shows the banana tree and the 3 pups that came with the tree when I bought it. And here is a link to all of the other posts that I have done on my Ice Cream Banana.

More Banana Tree Updates

It is amazing when you look at your plants growing everyday not much seems to happen.But you leave for a few days and it seems like they explode in new growth. When I got back from my trip there was new growth on all of the banana trees. Then the banana trees put out 2 new leaves each in just 4 days Just before I left on my trip I had 2 new pups on the Misi Luki, and 1 new pup on the Ice Cream. Now I have 2 pups coming up on the apple banana. The new pups are growing faster than any of the pups that have been there since I started on the ice cream banana. The new Ice cream pup has only been exsposed for 2 weeks and is taller and fatter than the 3 others that have been there for 5 months. Here are some different pictures of all the bananas. The first 3 are the Ice Cream banana tree, the first shot is from 4/1 and the next 2 are from 4/8 they doubled in size in a week. The next 3 are of the Misi Luki and the dates are the same. Then the next 2 are the apple banana and its new pups. The last picture is of the Williams hybrid.

Banana Tree Updates

Well these trees are getting big. The Misi Luki pup is starting its 2nd leaf. The ice cream banana pup that the lawnman weedwacked has its 4th new leaf coming out. The apple and williams hybrid still have no pups but the are spitting out new leaves about every 4 or 5 days. Pictures 1 &2 are the Misi Luki bananas, 3& 4 are the ice cream bananas, 5 is the apple banana, and the 6th is the williams hybrid.

Musa acuminata , Ice Cream Banana Update

Since I have a new update on the Musa acuminata , Ice Cream Banana. I have decided to do progression shots from the time I started taking photos . The first set is from 12/18/07, the second set is from 1/16/08, the third set is from 2/11/08 when the lawnman hacked the baby w/ the weedwacker, and the last set is from 2/20/08 with the update of my new leaf coming from the trunk that was cut. Maybe this will comeback stronger than before. Also the hacked baby still has not died. It is still 1/4 attached maybe I'll get 2.

Banana Update

Here is some updated banana shots. First my freakin lawn man came through with the weedwacker and hit one of the baby ice cream bananas and chopped it 3/4 of the way off. But in just a few days a new leaf has started to grow out. These are a few shots of the ice cream and its babies. Then we have the apple banana which is about to finish a new leaf, the williams hybrid which is the little guy, and finally the misi luki which still has not shot any new shoots yet and is almost twice the size of the ice cream. Here is the link to the first shots of the bananas. http://anotherfortpierceyard.blogspot.com/2008/01/here-are-few-of-baby-bananas-i-have-in.html
