Douglah starting to flower heavily

They're fruitful little bastards, aren't they...

 

[POTAWIE]

Potawie, do you actually get bananas from those plants?

Not yet but I hope to get some eventually, however some of the varieties I'm growing have unedible fruit, or the fruit is loaded with seeds.

 

[caroltlw]

Sweet dense budding you got there. You think they'll all set fruit, or do they drop a lot?

 

[trinicoolieboy]

what type of bananas are those?......

the ones i have are the normal ones u get at the market, i got one which we call moco (you have to boil before eating) and plantains.....

those buggers grow >6 feet.....

is that a special type that produces at a small height?

 

[POTAWIE]

The smaller banana plant in the earlier pic is a dwarf variety called Musa velutina which produces pink/orange flowers and fruits which are sweet but full of seeds. The larger ones I believe are Ensete glaucum or snow banana, and they produce fruits, but are much different than the common banana.

I think a lot will set fruit but I'm starting to feed this one fish emulsions to try to green it up and get some nice new growth to go along with the flowers, so I may limit the number of pods if a lot do set

Those buds amazing . Is it second year plant ?

 

[POTAWIE]

Its a first year plant likely started in January. I'll post a better pic once I get it to green up a bit

 

[POTAWIE]

Here's one of my favorite annuums of this year. Its a Pimenta D'espelette, and I just love these peppers for making mild chile-powder/paprika

This one is my bigbang naga from cutting/clone, and its starting to load up on flowers and pods

 

[chilliman]

I love your setup and hope i can even get close...

Pimenta D'espelette , those look really good... I may have to get my hands on some of those.

Can we please trade when you have some seeds ?
I want these but cant find seeds

thanx

[POTAWIE]

It appears everybody wants these
I'll see what I can do but I'm already getting a huge list of seed seekers and I was really planning to do all my seed deals in December again this year when its convenient for me, and actually there is nothing really that I'm looking for anymore in the way of pepper or tom seeds. I also don't really like to give out seeds unless I've grown them for a several years and know everything about them and their growth habits/taste etc. There are already far to many people swapping or selling unreliable or mis-labeled/improperly identified seeds that they know little about, and this always leeds to problems

Thanx for consideration, I may have other seeds of interest. I suppose we will talk in December.
And I find it hard to find reliable and respectable sources for my seeds.

I'm sure the bananas would love to be in the ground but the best I can do is give them the biggest pot I can that is still able to fit in the door of the house.
There are so many interesting varieties of bananas, but I've found that some seeds can take months or even over a year to germinate
Here's where I bought most of my banana and hardy palm seeds

I just re-read my post and sorry if I sounded grumpy Chilliman, I just get overwhelmed with seed requests sometimes

I do not want to add to that feeling. So I will not ask again champ, only if you remember... I am not short on good seeds or strains. Just seems to be that ONE strain......
Thanx Potawie..
Some seeds you may want from me since you have the chillis you want:

Dragon Fruit -
Red Clover - (natural fertility drug)
dwarf crab apple
Mulberry - (Aussie)
Bonsai seeds... (most of the are pine species. Juniper etc.)
Lemonade tree
Lime / lemon
Cumquat's
Mandarin
mango
These I have off the top of my head, many many more though.
