Looking for a pup of a dwarf lady finger plant.

I would like to trade Banana for Banana at this time. Send me an email if interested. Thanks Jackie

I have two pups from mine that are dormant. I transplanted them earlier this week and the roots are still alive. Im sorry this is my first year gardening. My banana tree did well this year. She has put out 6 pups this year. Full grown shes about 7 ft tall (this includes her top leaf) I dont know if the pics will work here but Ill try...its of the mature banana plant and of the pups. Heres links to them... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/itsmedenee/garden/MVC-059F.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/itsmedenee/garden/MVC-063F.jpg and what the pups looked like in the fall and what they look like now. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/itsmedenee/garden/45.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/itsmedenee/garden/babynanas.jpg Like I said before. Im a new gardener but I bring the babies in when it gets below 45 and take them back out during the day. I transfered them into new pots and the roots are still alive and the "trunks" are still firm. I have two more babies coming up and will be digging them up tomorrow to bring them in before the next freeze at the end of the week. You cant tell by the pics of the mother tree but the truck is a wonderful deep red. Let me know if you want one of the bigger ones.

Hello Evaldas, I would wait two more weeks on the large pup and maybe a month on the smaller one. When you decide to remove the pup take a shovel and make and sharp strike (smooth cut) to the dirt between the pup and the mother keeping the strike closer to the mother to assure you obtain some root structure for the pup. But not to worry bananas are as tough as nails. No need to place it in a bag that will do more harm than good. When bananas are small and being grown in pots they prefer to be in partial sun (to prevent steaming the new roots) and prefer the soil to dry slightly (lots of perelite in the soil mixture miracle grow potting soil will do well) between waterings this will insure soil borne disease dont take hold, once the are larger (2' or more) they like the exact oposite of that; lots of water and full sun. My wife and I cultivate bananas and are currently growing around 30,000 bananas/25 species. If you have any questions feel free to ask we will help all we can. What zone are you in? if you are in zone 7 or below you can place the plants in 3/4 sun or above. for this process. Best wishes Shawn and Angela, Florida hill nursery.
