Banana Trees

These trees have their own forum like RIU.

I'm germing 5 dwarf cavendish bananas right now, & I ordered a dwarf red jamaican cutting. These two types get between 3' & 6' indoors and bear delicious fruit. Probably hard to do indoor but I'll try.

There's bananas that are blue/silver and taste like apples

Here's some links:

where do you live because i have a shitload of banana trees outside in my yard and they grow really fast here in south florida.

Same hear in Texas i cut them down every 6 months then they grow back even bigger lol its like a giant weed

I live in AZ, its pretty hot here, like a 9-10 Hardiness Zone.

You guys get fruit from your trees?

my oldest ones are around 9 months old but still no fruit. ive heard it takes about a year before they start growing fruit.

banana weed is bomb son

Most are supposed to fruit in their second year. I'm just curious if anyone's banana fruits in a pot, or indoors without HPS or other lighting, like a house plant.

I think it'd be the shit to have a 6 foot banana tree in the L/R with 30-40lbs of fruit ripening...

I got the Jamaican Red Dwarf cutting today!

Looks good, transplanted into 3 gallon pot and watered. I guess I could make this a journal for my banana's...



What the hell, here's what my yellow fruit lady looks like.

Hey, can I put a CFL over this bad boy? I have some extra laying around but I don't have a timer. Do you think 24hr light would hurt it?

i had one but no fruits ever came

i never grew one inside or in a pot mine are in the ground. i think a cfl would work, 24hr light would probably just make it grow fast.

crazy bro i grow both those trees lol my jamacan puts out a new leave like every week er so, my regular dwarf does the same but grows a little slower. i keep them right outside my grow area so they catch some but not to much light cuzz they like shade aLOT. at least mine do.

check out these beasts. they clone themselves faster than i can take care of them.
