T.Tesan...usually demonstrating a strong SFH trait.Cigs in pots are an effort to curb the constant attacks of WSM-seems to be working.

Castor flower/seed pods...these are probably a hybrid of the
green variety and the New Zealand purple.

Great garden! T.takil is good looking one. Did you buy seeds from James Verhaegen 'Europalms'? I have two T.takil from that source but they not perform very well in ground for me.

IDK if I would try it in your zone Jim but Thai black is proving hardy here in zone 6B with about 8 inchs of mulch. heard good reports from the UK on its cold tolerance as well.I got a T. Takil from Steve and planted it out this season I hope it does me proud and makes it through its first winter.

Yes...all my Takil are from James @ Europalms...Thx Henoh!

Yea Mike-I think with the last winter we had -I wouldn't want to risk
A Black Thai in the ground over winter....they seem to take longer than other
banana plants to get going here,not sure I would want to risk it-but thanks for the info Mike.
