I got a dwarf orinoco for my birthday over a decade ago. Today there's 8 growing in its place from offshoots and I can't count how many clusters of bananas I've got over the years. Never watered, never fertilized, just stuck the original in the ground and ignored it. The only tending is picking apart the dead stalks or propping them up so clusters ripen on the plant.

You’re the kind of person that I wish was my neighbor lol

We are currently in South Central FL and have the Nam Wahs, true ice creams, Sabas (plantation), cavendish’s and an African rhinos horn! We love our bananas, thanks for the tour! 🤙

Yes about the cold. I had a Musa basjoo outside this year during the epic Texas freeze with -3° temps and she survived and now thriving. Alao my yellow flower dwarf chinese banana plant is very cold hardy.

Caring for plants that produce is so rewarding. I wish i had a land to be self sufficient and feed myself.

Hi.Great video you got there. Here's some other things if you'd like to experiment with. Fertilizer programme: Month 1 - 5: 16:16:16 (150g/plant/month) Month 6: MOP (100g/plant - one time application only on month 6 or when you see the last short leaf before flowering comes out) + 12:12:17:2(100g/plant/month) Month 7 till harvest: 12:12:17:2 (150g/plant/month) For the suckers to ensure maximum growth. 2 ways to go around it. Cut and don't dig as to not damage the roots. First: Only keep 1 at 3 months old and another at 8 months old. Second: Only keep one once the flower comes out. Choose only sword suckers as this is the one with vigorous growth rate. As for leaves. Maintain 8 leaves while growing, 6 once the flower comes out and 4(excluding the small leaves before flowering) once you cut the flower. Cut the flower around 2 inch after the last bunch. Just sharing. Happy gardening everyone.

Time for a new walk through of this garden.

Hi Guys, im in tampa area, im looking for a banana tree known for producing! I think they all look nice, what species should I go for?

I've ordered from Florida hill in the past and they mislabeled my order and gave me the wrong plants and I've emailed them a dozen times and no answer. I have zero trust in them now

Nice farm. Love the taros

This is an awesome video! The only banana that I can grow in NY reliably is Musa basjoo. I’ve had it for 5 years in the ground, and overwintered with a foot of mulch through -15°F! Musa basjoo is not edible, just beautiful... I’m experimenting with velutina, Sikkimensis ‘Red Tiger’

I have my washing machine drain out to my banana patch and also have my ac/ drain that keeps my patch nice and moist.. I live just out side of Tampa, going to check out the other types you mentioned and the nursery near olando.

Saludes desde Canada yo soy de Honduras me da gusto ber bananas de mi pais.

I have yet to get fruit yet. I am expecting to get some this year. My Ice cream banana has done extremely well through freezes. Slow growing. Looking forward to its fruit.

What a great video. Thanks!

Love your video, very informative. I live in North Florida just 20 miles from the Alabama border. We get some below freezing temperatures only at nights (generally). What variety could I get that would produce the quickest? Thank you for your videos and information.

Been into bananas for about a year and I love learning more every day. These are some beautiful varieties and I want them all 😆 🤣 😂

Time for an update visit video on these bananas!!!!

This is interesting because these bananas are away from any buildings.

The last time that I was in Thailand ... ate some bananas that were fully ripe and ready to eat even though the skin was still green ... delicious and nice texture. Anyone knowing where I can get some rootigs?

Awesome bananas man! :D

Very nice! I love the Dwarfs. So much easier to manage and easy to collect fruit.

Hi! I'm in zone 8b/9a.... can I grow most of these bananas?

I have a 3 foot tall Namah. And I’m trying to decide where to plant it. I have a spot in the backyard that I think will be pretty shielded from Northwind but there is not much of a tree canopy there or I can go in the front yard under Jacaranda tree it may be more exposed to wind there. Any suggestions where to plant this banana? I have a standard size yard in St. Petersburg a couple of miles from the beach. with Mature Jacaranda tree in the front yard and mature avocado and backyard. Thank you

I live in north Florida and have two dwarf cavendish banana trees. I visited a nursery today and was told they won’t bear fruit! I’m bummed about that I’m hoping to get lucky and make them work? Or am I wasting my time and need to hunt down some like yours?

Hi I live in Jacksonville, where is a good source to buy a few banana trees? I love them and can't find a good place to buy some. You've got a great looking place there I'm jealous. Thanks.

My grandfather to own a banana farm up near the Queensland border in New South Wales in Australia here :- i2.au.reastatic.net/600x800-resize,extend,r=33,g=40,b=46/fb8ed18a9cc5fbd7ea0444fc5e09a446c560f92adb622e6931c18b4a1de67b75/image5.jpg The bananas were grown behind the house and the sheds as well as across the creek up into the mountains,they made a flying fox out of fence wire, bicycle rims & a hook & rollers which was used to transport the Banana 🍌 bunches across the creek so they could get packed in the banana shed. They were the lady finger variety which was better suited to the subtropical climate & they were sweet tasting bananas as well, further north in Queensland, it's got a more tropical climate & is where the Cavendish bananas are grown up near Cairns because they really need a temperature of 27°C (80°F) to grow all year around. My dad moved 600 kilometres (360 miles) south to find work back 50 years ago which is 150 kilometres (90 miles) North of Sydney (Newcastle area) but some people do grow bananas as a hobby in my area. I bought a couple of lady finger banana 🍌 plants a couple of weekends ago which I want to plant on my new property that I'm going to eventually move to this year some time ! Our plant hardiness zone is USDA 10b or Zone 4 in Australia right from South Sydney in New South Wales to the North of Brisbane in Queensland yet our commercial banana 🍌 growing region extends to Coffs Harbour & technically Kempsey & that's about it, even the lady finger bananas aren't commercially grown in the Newcastle & Sydney areas !

You forgot anti pesticide as far as maintaining the trees go to keep black widows away.
