Do you think this tree will grow well in South Florida, 10b? super hot in the summer and not sure if planting it in the shade would work as I want fruit

I live in Largo but I was in Lutz for the storm. We were going to go to a hotel but someone miscalculated and we ended up in someone's house which was actually really good except for they had a well so we didn't really have water but we had some buckets. We have some banana trees in our yard. I don't know which ones survived if any. Thankfully all of the ducks survived and the duck house survived and house survived so all of those things were good. But I just want to say that I generally refer to banana trees as anemometers. I think they're always the first thing to go down. We can tell which way the wind is blowing we can tell how hard the wind is blowing One time I was standing inside the duck house hosing it out and behind me I heard one of them crash to the ground. And then I forgot about it and finished my task and turned around and there it was. But at least they are better than those gigantic trees. I just searched for lutz because I wanted to see what was going on outside while we were squirreled away inside.

Thanks for sharing. Yep, banana trees are the first ones to fall to the ground. Hope you had minimal damage. Happy Growing!

I'm over in Clearwater and that was quite a storm. In past storms I have lost many bananas, but this time I trimmed them down to 2 to 3 leaves before the storm. Although a bit tattered I didn't lose any. I'm learning that trimmed and thinned out trees do tend to hold up better in the wind. Thanks for sharing.

I live in central Florida 9a. I bought a Barbados cherry tree one month ago It has lots of new growth ,but no cherries yet. I am thinking about doing a softwood cutting to see if it will work. I bought the tree from a local nursery in a three-gallon pot. I planted it close to my house on the south side. Do you have any pointers for me.

OK what’s your secret? How do you grow these wonderful fruits in Centra Fl? I live in Brooksville, and have two hardy-ish banana plants and a pineapple from Florida Hills Nursery (purchased online). I have some others, but those are the most reliable. Your videos give me hope. I’m enjoying them very much.

Im from Paraguay. We have that growing all over the place, its wild. I have a great recipe for passion fruit mousse with hand mixer: 1 can condensed milk 2 cans measured heavy cream 1/2 can measured passion fruit pulp, with or without seeds (must blend or process separately prior to mixing mousse if using seeds) Put the condensed milk in a bowl and hand mix (or use ur standmixrr) along with passion fruit pulp. Mix well. Add the cream and mix until fluffy. You can portion it, cover it and refrigerate atleast 4h prior to serving. Its super yummy and we give it to kids in the summer. You can also use this recipe and make ice cream with ice cream maker. Hope you make it. Remember!!!! Passion fruit seeds lower your blood pressure, so beware!

Air layer won't be as fast as propagation. You can take multiple small branches put them in water with a grow lights and have roots within a month or maybe two. Super easy to propagate.

I'm not sure. You can try covering it with a light blanket. I lost two trees to the cold winters. I know some people have told me that their trees have made it through the winters. Maybe planting the tree close to the house to get the warmth. Good Luck!

It's hard to find a lot of these fruits but your best bet would be to look of some Chinese and Indian markets. They carry the best selection of rare tropical fruits. You can also order from Miamifruit on-line.

Splitting will happen if you let them ripen too long on the tree or if there is too much rain or watering.
