🌴🌼Are you going to grow bananas? 🍌 🍌 Dwarf or full size?🍌🍌What is your favorite breed?🌼🌴
how do you stop it from growing and overtaking the garden? i'm scared by i LOVE plantains and bananas. :(
@@hotties3v3n don’t worry about it. They aren’t hard to control, if you keep the pups thinned, which is easy. I recommend Dwarf/Tall Namwa and Manzano. Manzano tastes like a dream.
Got 3 pups a week ago. Not sure what type they are but they are not dwarfs. I’ve never tried any others besides Cavendish.
Is it possible to get banana seeds from bananas bought in a supermarket?
Hellow i Chilean men i have company banana , i import banana in Ecuador.
I so interesting open company in florida and produce banana in florida.
You are so great,
This has been one of the most informative videos on yt. Keep up the good work!
Wow, thanks!
I bought a banana plant at a garden center here in Miami and the plant I bought was Ornamental only and was not supposed to produce fruit. The first few years the plants grew but there was never any fruit. However after about five years new pups emerged and as they grew up, I noticed bunches of fruit suddenly appeared!! Somehow nature found a way!! The banana fruits are delicious so I realized that my idea to buy just an ornamental tree was a mistake. The banana I bought is one of the tallest varieties and sometimes after a heavy rain or stong wind, the banana tree will topple over. I have to support it or tie it to the fence to prevent this. I definitely love my bananas.
"It's one of the largest grasses"
Bamboo, "Am I a joke to you?"
🤣🤙
LOL 😂 😝 😆
I planted a dwarf ice cream banana a few months ago and had no idea what I was doing, now that I saw your video I was happy to learn I planted it in the right place. And now I know so much more about banana plants . Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad I could confirm it. I think that just shows that Bananas are Easy 😉 I didn’t know there were Dwarf ice cream plants! Hope you get bunches and bunches 🍌😄
@@WildFloridian yeah I never heard of the dwarf ice cream bananas either... Hey you should look into bokashi grain and bokashi buckets for those hands you don't have room for, as you can make your own fertilizer for the trees
is there a video you got for the actual propagation process? it got complicated at the end for me, Thank you for this!
I haven't filmed that yet.
ALSO, when a ‘glut’ of bananas happen, I use the paper cup cake liners in a cup cake pan and peel/smash a banana per cup (I put two ice cream banana per cup for baking) freeze for a few hours and then stack them up in a freezer zip bag for future baking. They are good up to 3 months.
Great tip!
I came for the bananas and stayed because your content is so well done, start to finish. I completely shifted gears as to where to plant, thank you so much for information. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
I love your videos.. I was a little hesitant to grow bananas. But now I'm all in. THANKS😁
This is the most informative video for bananas trees I have found. It tells you everything from size, quantity of produce, different breed varieties, weather circumstances, etc..... Where most of other videos just tell you the zones and where they survive best at, fertilize, cut/prune and when to pick them.
This is the most amazing comment! 🥰☺️🥰
I wonder, do you think beach dune sunflowers would be a good ground cover around banana plants? I think it would be really pretty.
It would be pretty. My thought is that bananas like really rich soil and dune sunflowers like more sandy dirt. I think one or the other will struggle. But I love to experiment... so if you do too, its worth a try! :D
I'm in North Florida this year we had freezing weather. If my banana plant freezes will the rhizome survive?
Potentially. Depends how long and how low the temperature gets. But many have had there bananas come back. I would do cold weather protection to mitigate as much damage as possible to the rhizome.
We grow them here in Kentucky when a frost hits it we cut it down it comes back in the spring. Mine gets 20 feet tall.
This is a really well-done video -- not a lot of fluff, tons of useful information, and easy to follow. I wish more videos were like this.
Thank you! ☺️
Great video ! Lots of information I didn’t know before . I just moved down here to Florida and I’m in zone 9b . Someone around the corner from me just randomly gave me her pup when I asked her where did she buy her banana plant . I was so thankful , surprised and excited . I went right home and dug a hole and planted the pup in there with the soil I dug up . Do you think it would be fine like that or should I re plant it with a specific soil ?
I have a super dwarf Banana... cause zone 6... but its going well.
The Leaves are showing some light purple at the bottom of the leaves... but no flower yet.
It's only 2 1/2 ft tall, the leaves are huge for it's size.
Hi! Wonderful video, thank you. I have room for a dwarf plant. What is the name of the dwarf banana plant? And do they taste like regular bananas? Thank you so much. I cannot wait to go out and buy one and get it into the ground!
Hi Barbara! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The dwarf banana is Dwarf Cavendish and yes they taste like the store bananas. Most store bananas are Cavendish. 😄
@@WildFloridian thanks, you are awesome!
What an enjoyable and informative video. I had to pause in the middle and get a banana to munch on; it's perhaps the most perfect fruit of all.
I'm in coastal San Diego with a teeny-tiny back yard. I was looking for something to put in a large pot and saw a dwarf Cavendish plant at Lowes so I figured I'd give it a shot. After 3 or 4 years of modest growth, I gave up on it ever bearing fruit (but I did find a cute little frog napping under a leaf). Then, after I'd lost all hope, I noticed an unusual leaf sprouting that turned out to be a flower. I now have a nice little bunch of tiny banana fingers coming in. The whole plant is at most four foot tall but hopefully it has stored up enough energy to yield a harvest.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with such a pleasant style. 👍
Thank you for showing us so much about growing bananas 🙂
Remember, God loves YOU and your family too 🙂
Hey! Stupid question. When places against the house, would the roots grow into the foundation?
Great question! 😁 No, the foundation should be fine
The root system is relatively shallow and not so broad.
Thank you. Just bought a dwarf yesterday. Your video is very helpful.
I'm so happy it helped Rick 😄 Wishing you bunches and bunches of bananas!
Can you just leave the pup there and after the mother plant gets cut down will they grow ok
Yes you can leave it
Does your banana plant die off in the winter and rejuvenate in the spring?
No mine do not
@@WildFloridian
I’m in north Florida and I planted one last year. I thought it died over the winter, but it came back with 5 stalks. I had to dig it up and move it a month ago and it’s looking really good now. I don’t think I will get any bananas this year, but I think if I didn’t move it it would be much bigger. Seems like the winter gave it a good beating, but it came back with a vengeance.
Your channel is fantastic, I live in central Florida, zone 9b, I will definitely grow bananas, thanks 🌱🍌💕
Yay Peg! Bananas are amazing
I got one for a reasonable price on Etsy. They sent the baby one in the mail and it is doing great!! They have great seed and plant vendors that are organic, non-GMO, heirloom, etc.
I have had Bananas for years. All from parent plants that produced fruit. However mine have never produced fruit. I mulch, water, fertilize etc nothing.
I would see if they are getting enough sun. They like a lot of sun. If you are in Florida... where we say 4 to 6 hours for full sun for veggies... bananas will take 6 to 8 hours of full sun.
gazer sent me
1.16 there is something I should say. The fact that seeded bananas are not edible bananas but they are ornamental bananas. That is not completely true. Some seeded bananas are edible too. For an example: the self-pealing pink banana (Musa Velutina). I've seen @weirdexplorer eating wild seeded bananas. Remember, keep planting @WildFloridian.😊
I bought 2 banana plants from home depot (dwarf cavendish) and both completely failed! I'm starting to think I've got black thumb!
Going to try again this year but I think I'll try them in comtainers.... My yard is almost pure sand
Oh just bought my first banana plant from the store. I live in Ohio will it actually grow here? Thanks for video
I'm guessing... but it should grow in a large pot. Bananas will not survive the winters there. So it would have to be something you move inside. I know someone in Tennessee got them to overwinter in the ground by cutting them back. But if the ground freezes, it is highly unlikely that the plant will live. In a pot, you may be challenged with it growing fruit. Best wishes to you! 😄
Wanted to watch how to grow bananas ended up buying yellow rayban glasses, i loved hers. They look tasty
LOL! I'm glad I could inspire your sunware choice! 😂😄😂
@@WildFloridian hahah cant help it i love bright colors
I'd love to, but with S Florida infested with iguanas, they'll get eaten.. my Mango trees used to drop hundreds, I'm lucky to get 20 these days 😢
I think it would be awesome fo have more backyard bananas than we could eat right away! Up here in Oregon zone 8b I'm pushing it a bit with a dwarf Orinoco and a blue java/namwah (still not 100% sure about it due to the controversy behind the tissue culture mislabeling fiasco), so I'm guessing we'd be lucky to see a couple small hands in a few years. But if we do end up getting a good bunch, we could always freeze the excess before they get too brown!
Thank you, very informative! I’ve gotten motivated and have banana plants now, quite a variety!
Yay! I’m so glad the video helped! Best of luck!
Depends where you reside. In Ca desert? Not so easy.😢
Facts!
Maybe you can help me. Every thing I read and watch mentions mulch, but what exactly is that? Wood chip mulch? Compost mixed with wood chips? Cut grass? Not sure what I should be putting on my banana tree
My banana plant was doing great throwing lots of leaves… it hasn’t rained it South Fl in about 3 weeks… the bottom leaves are completely dead and brown… the top ones look like they were chewed by some type of bug.. they have huge bites maybe caterpillar? I need help! Is it lack of water? I do water them every other day now that it has not rained. But I’m not sure what’s going on. Appreciate any help. 😩
I have dwarf bananas in my backyard, but we have large very old banana trees at work that I want to take a cutting from and take home. Any ideas on how I can do that? Thanks so much for your video.
Excellent video. Thank you. One little bit of constructive comment. You mentioned a couple of times heat resonating from the house walls. I think you mean radiating.
HAHAH! You're right! 😂 I'm glad you enjoyed the rest of the video 😄
Okay! So I've watched your videos on bananas and to get started, just go buy a banana "tree" and then after it produces, propagate them to have more and more? Because somebody on Facebook is selling ice cream banana plant and they say it'll produce once and then that's it? Or any banana plant I buy will produce a pup?
My dwarf banana plant is Still 1 ft tall in 2years..Akthough I rarely water it or fertilize it..
Best Conpost??
Well... that may be the problem 😂 Is it in full sun? They needs lots of sun. And yes, they need lots of water. I use home made compost and mulch for my bananas.
I live in 9A. My banana trees LEAVES are turning yellow. No a little yellow - a lot of yellow. What mineral am I missing?
Where should I purchase my banana plant? I live in New port Richey, FL in the country area
Thanks. Been raising bananas for 20 years now here in central Florida. The freezes last winter did some damage, but they survived and starting to produce again. I started with about 12 plants…but now they number about 60. Lol.
💚
I'm by
Its very long long story Where's the process of making banana grow Lots of talking
Unfortunately they can’t be grown in 9b Florida of the panhandle - gets cold 🥶
Just found your channel! Thanks for this video, it answered every question I had in mind. We're in Bay county Florida and got our first bunch of bananas from our 10 year old plant and were just wondering what we did right!
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy your energy and insight. So important for us who are new to Florida. Thanks
I am in pa and so this will be a challenge and I am a renter so can’t put them in the ground. I am so excited! What type of weeds would I be challenged with?
How old was your banana plant before it produced its first crop? How long have you had your plants and how tall does it grow?
Thanks,
Hey your aware you can bokashi the bananas and then the nutrients from previous bunch's can be used for fertilizer
I have about 4 banana stands on my property. One was 2 years old and only made 1 rack last year. None of the new ones have, and none of the other bananas have ever fruited and some are 2 years old. I wonder what they are lacking. Lots of plants, no fruit.
All we wanted to know was how to grow bananas
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Late to the party. Bananas can be grown from the fruit. It does take time from fruit to ground.
Wow! You covered so much important information in one video quickly. My favorite! Thank you!
There are some youtube videos that show an actual banana placed in dirt or water and grow a tree,however i already grew banana from a stem and currently i have 4 . Am waiting for second banana bunch
Cool vid, my mum is in Orlando what type should she plant? I guess close to house would be ideal.
Is it better to separate the pups or just leave them? I have plenty of room and don't mind leaving them, especially if that's the best thing to do
Have a sneaking suspicion that they know she’s talking about them
My new home in SWF has a banana plant, I just don’t know what type of banana it is, any advice on how to identify it?
My banana plants are the only thing besides my rosemary that keeps growing 💪 We have dwarf and just started Gran Nain. Unfortunately I don't water/feed them enough and only seem to get a bunch every 2 years across 7 or 9 plants. Do you have a schedule/amount for keeping them happy?
is there any difference in how you grow sweet banana plants versus plantains? And can you get fruit by growing in a pot?
Well I live in Ontario Canada 🙃🙃🙃😂😂😂😂😂
😂 You got me!
I had some small bananas imported from the Caribbean and a few have what look like long lines of stitch marks on them what is this anyone know ?
I'm in Gainesville Florida and was told I can't crow them here. Is that true
Wow I didn't know that it wasn't an actual tree, because I have never seen one before.
If I don't have a composter, what could I feed it?
Which are the best tasting varieties? I live in zone 10, Thanks
I have my banana plants in a low spot in my yard where it gets a lot of rain water
You’re my new best friend! Do I cut the stalk down when it gives me bananas? Last year I cut the whole plant down after I got bananas, thankfully, all grew back. But I’m unsure what to do once the bananas come.
😄 Yes, just cut the stalk that made bananas. Cut it as close to the ground as you can. Just chop up the trunk and throw it in the middle of the banana circle. Or you can chop it up and use it to fertilize your veggies and other plants.
this is an awesome video. thank you so much
Do you have spiders? That's all I want to know lol
How many banana plants do you let grow at the same time from the one general plant?
7 plus minutes and still no instructions on planting....
How do you know if you got a banana tree that will produce
yeah bananas is not a tree its a plant and actually it turns more into a trunk
What variety of banana plants are edible ???
I doubt it will do well where I live.... Canada.
How far apart do you want to place your pup from the mother plant, assuming they’ll be in the same area of the yard? The dwarf cavendish I bought already had a good sized pup in the pot with it, so trying to figure out how to split them to help them both grow better.
For a dwarf cavendish, I would put them 8 feet apart. When I got one of my bananas, there were two equal stems... so similar situation. Dig both holes before you split it. I’m assuming it is a 3gallon Plant. When I split it,
1) I removed from the the container and placed on driveway. That way the plant isn’t sinking into the ground when you try to make a clean cut or break
2) pulled dirt away so I could see the rhizome
3) use flat shovel to split
4) get in ground quick
Hope that helps! 🍌😄
Are dwarf cavendish good for zone 5a?
I love bananas but the trees are so ugly and I don't have a lot of space 🤣
Very informative. Thank you
Great information! Thanks so much
Awesome video, thanks.
What zone are you in? It might be helpful to mention in your videos your zone when you talk about what to plant in Florida and mention whether the plant grows in all of Florida or in a region (north, central, south) or a specific zone (8-11). Great content. Keep it coming.
I’m in central Florida. I mention it in various videos, but not every video 😉 Thanks for the feedback! It helps me make better videos for y’all 😄
Could you cross breed ornamentals to get a seeded nanner? It may taste like wax but it's a step. xD
Maybe? LOL
I found a banana plant in someones trash how do i find out what kind it is?
I just love your videos and you! Your whole energy is 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much!!
I am great Praying Hands. Can’t wait till it gets 18 feet tall! It’s going to be so majestic and awesome!
Can't wait!
Nice video. Love the inserted pics too! ♥️
I’m glad you liked!
your research is wrong you can grow bunches and they are trees
Thank you. Very informative
So, I have Dwarf Cavendish, I have had them for close to 10 years. I still haven't seen neither inflorescence nor fruit. Now, I live in coastal CT (Zone 7) and the plants grow well, but I think I just don't get enough Sun and Temp to get them to fruit. I take them out in the summer months and bring them in for winter in front of a huge southern window. I started with 1 pup, and now have 4x 14 inch pots ready to burst with rhizome. Pretty foliage but no fruit :(
The "nom nom nom" had me laughing. I have a few trees going and am getting close to the point where I'm expecting a flower in the next few months and the excitement with these never dies down. Thanks for the great info.
LOL! Gotta keep it a little silly. Congratulations on your soon to be new flower!
How deep must be the hole of the banana tree?
it's a brilliant video, well done
You are knowledgeable thoroughly explaining the process. Plants enjoy the proper process you described. Thank You
I’m in zone 9B Florida...will it like sun all day?
Howdy neighbor.... and yes it will like full sun all day.
