That was rivers of provision nursery

Branches are used for propagation

Interesting observation and if true, would be one more reason to avoid TC banana plants. Id be surprized if the Viente Cohol was raja puri though. The healthy plant fruiting at 4 ft would be more of a description of VC as Ive never seen raja puri fruit so small. Both were Tissue cultures which can get mixed up.

Yes, if it’s well rotted

Banana plants with a good corm root system can take some drought

I’ll do a follow up video when fruit is ripe

Yes

Hmmm, you could be right.

Currently, raja puri, California gold, dwarf namwa

Dwarf namwah , dwarf Orinoco ,dwarf Brazilian, and Rajapuri are great varieties just make sure you get pups and not tissue cultures as these are almost always mislabeled

@@emanueldelgado540 THANK YOU!

Yes I have separated pups and transplanted

🌴👍

If needed …. Yes

@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you for your reply.

I don’t know anyone who sells em… just buy a fruit and plant the seed

@@TropicalGardenGuy what you plating without clona rootstock seed sir?

@@TropicalGardenGuy okay thanks. I'am from Indonesia sir. South East Asia country

I leave flowers on and thin fruit if tree is small

I’d say soil conditions or fertilization is the cause. They really don’t like fertilizer or tap water

If you are in a cold climate ( lower than z9b ) you may need to build a greenhouse over it.

@@TropicalGardenGuy I am here In Fresno 🫡zone 9b

Our dec /jan averages 55/39f Our average lowest temperature of the year is 28f , but we have been very mild lately

Thanks again!

Welcome👍🌴😎🌴

Yea I bet this one too sensitive

Indoors they do fine for me when young but do need full sun for fruit

Hi Terry, the variety is called Maradol

👍🌴😎🌴

Yes

Yea I use the word tree for simplicity.

Do you grow them as annuals, or do they survive your winter?

@@jared8268 As annuals

I've also found that if I just stick them in dirt, without removing the membrane, they sprout fairly easily. I've lost two, likely to root rot though, so the raised bed idea might be worth a try here in Phoenix.

@@cedarmulligan3862 Raised beds can help address a lot of challenges we face with growing tropicals here in the Central Valley. Drainage to prevent root rot is one benefit. Upgrading the growing medium from our heavy clay soil to something looser is another benefit. Finally, raised beds lift the plant and root zone a foot or two above grade, and in certain situations ( like planting on a slope ) this can offer limited protection against cold. Papaya benefit from raised beds, and so do mangos, most of the sapotes, most of the wax apples, most of the eugenias and even guavas and avocados. It’s worth the time to build and fill raised beds rather than just planting in the ground.

Excellent!

What a great deal. Down here in LA they were going for $26 at Home Depot.

@@davidgardner1067 its in demand in LA area, but in SF Bay Area, not so much !

With my plumeria plants, I’m cutting back the water so that the leaves fall off. I start watering again march 1st

@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks for your reply. I know in your videos you said to gradually stop watering and then no water by October 1st, but I just found this out...would you recommend stopping completely since tomorrow is October 1st or should I still gradually stop cutting back the water and if so, at what rate?

My house is facing west and my plumeria are up against south wall

@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks!

I think most but not all citrus are graft compatible

Happy growing!

👍

Is it grafted?

Welcome

Yes

I rarely prune the guavas, I let them grow until they get into my way then prune minimally

Agreed

That sux but Thanks for sharing.

8a may be too cold
