We planted our pink banana back in June and it had 4 very healthy shoots.
We removed one pup about 3 weeks ago from the mother plant and it is doing well in another bed.
This morning hubby found this. A pink pup! or is it. Could this be fruit sprouting?
The only mature pink banana we have seen had fruit hanging as a normal banana bunch would.
Anyone have any clue what is happening here?
K
I'm thinking a pup.
Looks like some of my basjoo pups right after I moved it.
Ric
Wow, all of our other pups were green (confused, shaking her head)
That is obscene looking!! Still wondering myself.
If you think that is obscene I have a tomato pic I could send you. Email only on this one, lol!
Knot, you sure do grow some strange things. What exactly HAVE you been doing in that garden?

My email is knotimpaired@earthlink.com
I don't know what is going on but there are certainly strange things going on in Vieques. ;o)
lol....you girls are so funny!
Hey weeds, join in anytime :o)
By the way I have my calendar marked for the 1st for our trade.
K
Great....looking forward to it. have you seen this? do you have one?

Knot, check your mail.....

Weeds, I have to be honest with you I have never heard or seen it before.
It is beautiful.
Do you if it may grow here?
K
MG - I am checking my mail now.

check it out...will root one for you
Thanks weeds, that will be great.
I can't wait to see what this one will grow into.
Kell,
We can't either.
I will keep everyone updated.

It is a pup that has been damaged when very small, probably when you removed the other pup. It should recover and grow normally. Bananas only make fruit when they flower.
The next few leaves may look rather bad.
After the damaged portion grows out they should go back to normal.
My 'Bordelon' got damaged when I was moving it outside this Spring.
The first few leaves were all stem w/ no blade.
Ric
Thanks guys.
I checked it this morning and it is the same. We are getting plenty of rain so that may help speed the growth rate.
Thanks again
MG- I wanna see the obscene tomato pic! LOL :)

MG,
I am not sure if you got my eamil but the pic did not show up when I opened the photos.
Can you resend it??
K
ok, I tried a different way, did it work?
mg
sarahjo, I sent it to you too, did it work?
Knot, give your banana some fertilize. That will get it in gear and make that pup grow!
Ummm...good idea. It has been about a month and a half since it had nana food.
But it is raining, PC took some friends to the airport and I have a couple coming over for dinner at 4:30 and all I have made so far is dessert. Chocolate - Peanut Butter Cheese Bars...Yum-Yum..
K
Plus it would be nice if I got a shower in there somewhere :o)
MG.
How funny.
You should get an award for that somewhere!!!!
ZZTOPSOIL is sending me some oddity tomato plants next week. Maybe I will have a pic to share soon.
Congrats. Did you eat it?
K
I didn't grow it, my SIL did. She sent me the pics. I don't know if they ate it or not, she did say something about trying to get seeds from it.
Pretty realistic, huh?
I can Email them to anyone else too. **Adults only**
