I am growing musa basjoo, sumatrana, Itinerans and acuminata. Which types are you growing? Also what kind of fertilizer works best for you? Tell us about those monster bananas you have growing.
Regards,
Jay

I'm growing Ensete ventricosum (Musa ensete). I was growing basjoo, but it sadly died indoors over the winter...
The ventricosum is very beautful though (Red and green leaves), and it grows very fast!

I grow a lot of bananas. I have Basjoo, Dwarf Red, Zebrina, Musa lasioscarpa, sikkimensis, Ensete maurellii, Ornata "Hot Pink", Velutina, Laterita, Ornata "Milky Way", Ornata "Red Ruby", Ae Ae, and a few unknowns. They all do well here. I grow them all outdoors excpt the Ae Ae which I keep in the greenhouse.
