It is encouraging to see younger gardeners setting up farms here in Florida. Orinoco or bluggoe bananas are almost wild in Florida. Almost every wild banana patch I have found was them. I own a few acres in Hendry and 20 years ago I put in banana plants to see if any would grow. Over time they died out because of the poor soil. Here in Miami I use extensive composting and have amazing results. When I do move to my lot I expect success in the garden. My favorite was the Gros Michel which in my opinion is the best banana.,
I had no idea you’re from punta gorda , very close to me . How are your sugar apples this year? I think it might be a very productive year for sugar apples this year. I’ve been looking all over for tall namwahs.
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me. And thanks again for all the amazing bananas! I can't wait till they grow this rainy season and I also can't wait till they start producing some flowers and fruits.
My friend is Leaph, if you are on Florida tropical fruit growers Facebook page he is popular on there and many people go to him for plants. Hope this helps
Hello Ana, what I mean is after the banana is done fruiting and I harvest I will chop the banana plant down and lay it down around other fruit trees as a mulch, banana has lots of water so it keeps the base of plants nice and moist. They grow super fast too so it works good to use it like that.
@@gardenflorida wow! That's a great idea, mi nino! Thank you! I'll do the same. I have a just planted ice cream banana and a platano macho. We'll see. 🥰
semangat....👍

Looking good brother
I took a shot every time you said “actually” and now I’m waiting for a lived donor.

Hi Juwani thank you so much my friend.
Those Orinoco’s look awesome. I can’t wait to find some one day.
I got these Orinocos from Sulcata grove in Sarasota ,Florida.
The farm is looking great! It’s amazing all you have done in such a short amount of time. Thanks for the shout out 😊

Hi, mi nino. What do you mean by "chop and drop"?
