I am in 9a... Your video information was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you. : )
SHEESH, WHAT A FREEZE THIS CHRISTMAS!
I planted some dwarf Cavendish plants this summer and they look sooooo sad, but the stems and roots still look okay. It's so tempting to cut them down, since they look HORRIBLE!
Thanks for this information!
Glad it was helpful!
You should cut the flower off when you it can not produce the fatty fruit anymore. Those flower you can turn it to your food. Take off the red paddle until you see white and crunchy, slide it thin to put in your salad or cut it cube to make pork or beef soup. The Shoup will much better with some lemon drop, garlic leaf and chili. I am Cambodian.
Hi yes, but I feed them to my chickens.
Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing! God bless
Same to you :-)

Young fruit. Slice and fried, or dehydrate them. Young Banana chip so delicious.
I bought an ice cream banana tree a couple months back. I have it currently inside the house and I live in zone 8A. It is nice to see what they do during the winter. I am wondering when is the best time to transplant mine back outdoors. I am waiting when nighttime temps dont get into the 30's I think would be best. It came with two Leafs and now has 2 more with another growing. Thank goodness for vaulted ceilings. ;-) Oh and french doors to get it out.
What banana varieties do you think are the most resistant to cold? I live in Poland and grow Basjoo musa, I would like to try a variety with edible fruit, which ones would you recommend?
YOU SHOULD COVER UP THE (RAZIMOS) BANANA FRUITS.
Hi Jose, that is correct you should and I do with what I have available at the time on hundreds of plants. Thanks for your input.
Hi. Can we get a video of your banana plant process in late winter and early spring? What do u do when spring starts? Thanks!
Hi yes I posted a few (search my channel) Thanks
Thanks for watching my channel's videos, If you need some Banana plant help, want to contact me, or want to belong to a Banana Group, go to my Fasebook Banana Group, It's called ( FloridaBananaLovers ) on Fasebook.
I liked to know where to get the 3 different type bananas plants.
Hi I get my plants from different suppliers.
I would like to get some trees and flowers for making FFJ
I grow mine in a greenhouse in Colorado
I'm cutting
now or in the spring?
Hey buddy idk if u remember me but you took me out for a red snapper fishing trip one day, i was a member of your fishing forum online. Just wanted to say hello and your videos are very informative! I have a dwarf banana plant with 2 side pups growing, the freeze hit the mother plant pretty good, so i dont think it will make it. Should i go ahead and take a machete to it? Lol
Hi Brad, the freeze got to all mine as well. I just left everything alone till around April, then I will trim off the brown. hope all is well.
@@TheFrugalHugelGardener good news 3 new baby pups came up near the old banana plant! Do you remove your pups or just let them grow naturally
@@bradvandevender6271 I also made a few videos on this. I leave some and remove some. it just depends on what you want to accomplish. ruclips.net/video/22kXXrzFoTE/видео.html
I just cut down my two largest banana trees yesterday evening. They were close to producing by this spring. I initially intended to wait to even cut back the leaves until March but yesterday I noticed the center where it was putting new leaves out was rotting & decomposing. I also noticed how loses the trunks were and when I lightly pushed on the trunks with one finger at halfway, liquid would squirt out of the trunks fibrous layers. So I was pretty certain that they were in the process of dying off and trying to collapse like they do after harvesting.
Hopefully I made the right choice and my observations were correct? The inner core of the worst tree was browning and not white with light green like when they’re growing good.
Just curious if you can tell me if it’s likely they were dead?
We will have to move at sometime this year and likely won’t be able to bring them (unless I can successfully dig them up for transport without any root damage). So I’m a bit saddened that we never got to where they produced for us.
Hi Kelsey, sounds like it was starting to rot on the inside. you made the right call.
When do you cut off the flowers?
I don't unless there is a problem.
I’m just curious where you are located and how cold did it get last week where you are located. Last week I am in the panhandle of Florida south of Pensacola in gulf breeze about 0.5 miles from ocean. It got into low 20s for 3 nights with temps below 32 for 12 hours each night my have left the leaves on my bananas and wrapped from ground up to crown with a layer of frost cloth then bubble wrap.
Hi Wesley, I live in zone 9a north central Florida, 7 miles from the beach. it go into the lower 30s for a few nights. A Little frost it is normal for Banana plants to brown. Do not trim them back till around April. You could cut off your Banana rack and bring them inside to ripen or cook them green. if you protected your corms they should all come back, some may not. The young sucker may or may not, depending on if you covered them. I try to cover all mine. Come to my FB page or group and post some pics. Later.
@@TheFrugalHugelGardener thanks for feedback. Sounds like it did not get as cold where you are vs my location. Guess all I can do now is follow your advice add more mulch at base of bananas and see what happens. I’ll check out your Facebook page
@@wesleyhackney I'll be posting updates after the freeze and warm weather returns. I do have last year's freeze videos on my channel as well. just use the search on the tab. search for (freeze)
How do you fertilize to get all that growth and fruiting. I am in 9a, ocala. We don’t get bananas. New at this.
Hi Dianne, it's much to lengthy to type here, Search my channel for how I prep my Banana beds, ( the beds are the key) fertilize and water. and yes you can grow them like I do in Ocala with the same results.
Does covering the young fruit help protect it from frost? Had two nights around 35 in zone 9 California. Freckle black spots now on some of the young fruit. Thanks!
Ice cream banana variety if that matters
Not really, they ended up going bad.
@@richarddawson4800 if a freeze hits them young they don't have a chance. sorry.
I’m by the Texas coast (zone 9 a) and the lowest we got to was in the mid-high teens, but wind chill brought us down to single digits. I only have 1 ice cream banana, less than a year old but it was about 9 feet tall and no pups that I can tell. I tried wrapping the trunk. The leaves have dropped to cover the trunk and the top foot and a half is soft/squishy. I heard it’s recommended to chop off mushy bits. The trunk is firmer as I go down but it’s.. damp? Should I chop and if so, where?
Hi Iris, I always just leave the Banana plants alone and wait till spring to trim and fertilize. we are sure to get more cold spells before spring. if your Banana plant is ok, it will come back, if not then there is nothing you can do at this point. if the banana plant did not make it, the corm should shoot off some pups in the spring. just protect the corm. and make sure the ground is moist and not wet.
@@TheFrugalHugelGardener Thank you! So it’s okay if I leave it? I know some said that leaving mushy bits might encourage root rot and I certainly don’t want to encourage that. 😬
@@soren22112 OK, so it is difficult to 100% say in your case without seeing it. why don't you come to my FB page and PM it to me? is it only the top and only squashy on the outside, or is it squashy all the way through?
My babies started growing beautiful when the fake spring started.. then the freeze killed them.. I’m so heartbroken.. I thought I was going to be lucky 🍀 enough to have 2 babies.. 😢
sorry to hear that. all mine turned brown, then turned green again.
Do you cut down your banana trees in the winter I have seen so many videos of those who do?
No I live in Florida
Is it necessary to cut your tree if you live in a cold climate or just wrap it?
Don't you rap fleece sheets or bags on them over there?
I saved camellias by putting hoods on them years ago - looked like monks on the run!
I just try to cover the base with as much mulch that I can.
Iam from Czechia here is zone 6b is my banana survive winter or no??
they could if you cut back and cover, or move inside for the winter months.
@@TheFrugalHugelGardener And if i cut only leaves and wrapped?
Do you think I can grow an ice cream banana plant in Nebraska?
not sure, but if you give it a try, I would grow them in very large pots so that you could move them inside in winter.
@@TheFrugalHugelGardener thank you
So, if our spring has started and the banana plants are covered in dead leaves do we cut them to the ground or only down to where the stalk is green? Will it grow bananas on a plant from last year? The plants never produced. Some of the plants have 5 or 6 feet of greenish stalk, I mean, not beautiful but greenish.
Hi, spring starts here in Zone 9A in April. I just leave them all alone till around the end of April and you will see all new green growth, then just trim off the brown leaves. (do not cut the plant trunk to the ground) just let it make a comback on its own.
Where Are you Located?
Zone 9a North Central Florida
