Musa 'Misi Luki'

Post by seedscanada » Tue Aug 27, 2013 5:03 pm

This banana is ten foot to leaf tip, about 4.5 foot to top of p-stem. It has been bigger, but this summer has been kind with low winds, and much rain.
Three pups are very quickly growing at the base.

the nana looks great.

I see your growing figs too. What's the best performing fig in your area? Any super hardy forms which don't get too much branch die back?

Tim thanks!
Yeah grimo nut farm is a short drive from here and offers a good selection of figs. I don't risk dieback. Mine, I bury each year and it yields two crops. The early crop always bears less. This tree has been there for five years and I purchased it seven years ago when I was a plant newbie and neglected to observe the name of the cultivar.

Yeah everyone keeps their figs in pots around here. Only one fella a few towns over had the entire front of his house tarped off to protect his ground planted mass of figs. I did leave one two year old fig tree in ground at the last house we sold... they gave zero protection (winter of 08-09) and it had heavy dieback, but strong regrowth. Same happened here with some extra figs I didn't care to keep.
