Root Dr. sent me these Blood Bananas back in the fall last year when he was getting his beds ready for winter. Well these little fellas came in a small brown box couldnt have weighed more than a couple of pounds, along with the African Mask EE.
BUT look at them know.....they are in about a 35 to 40 gallon pot and I think I should have gone bigger......
A big Thanks Rooty Tooty......we may even have bananas this year............LOL
:O)

I am trying to ID this Banana and at first thought it was the Blood Banana but I don't think it is. It may be this one....
Pink Banana - Musa velutina 'Pinkie'
Very Cold Hardy. Beautiful pink, fuzzy non-edible bananas form on top of the 5-6 ft stalks.
I have never had it to fruit so I don't know what those look like...any ideas out there....

LOL!! It makes my day,heck week when I see threads like this!
I'm not sure on the Mask though,it may have been Polly.
You sure are one good Nana Momma!!
Hey Rootdoc,
I have a full grown blooming hoya i would love to trade for one of these bananas. Think about it and let me know. Thanks.

My mama really would like one of those nice plants.
Shoot Jan,the ones I have now are only 6 inches,it would not be fair for you.
Okay, well, how about a couple of not so full grown hoyas that are potted up and growing well for a couple of your (not to be obscene) 6 inchers. Can we talk?
Sure Jan,I do not have Hoya,but do have fond memories of my Mums!
Great! You'll love them when they bloom. Very fragrant. I will email you with my addy. You do the same. Thanks so much Rootdoc
