Banana Propagation

[@catherinebew4388]

Extremely useful video, a lot I know and some I didnt. Plant pups horizontally? who would have thought, makes perfect sense. Nightshades came up from compost, found tomatoes a great companion plant with stems as support.The ash /detergent soak, great idea. Thanks so much, looking forward to the next one.

[@Ben_Schumacher]

That was so good! I just recently planted 4 new bananas, but didn’t have this knowledge, wish I had watched this prior! I’ll be better prepared next spring!!

[@kathysvagdis5130]

Excellent video, thank you so much. The planting it horizontal is excellent for my sandy, hurricane ridden part of Florida!

[@medacredland3461]

Thank you so much. I have learned so much and feel more equipped to propagate my bananas.

[@sovereignsoul]

Very informative! I have seen conflicting info elsewhere, but you go into greater depth, seem to have greater experience, and make far more sense. For example, others say a water pup has a more extensive root system than true pups and grow quicker, but as is typically true - the corn contains the stored energy and vitality. So subscribed. Needless to say kiwi women are also among the most beautiful in the world, and have a down to earth charm second to none - which makes the vid especially easy to watch.

[@megm.c4026]

Thats the most useful info Ive yet to see on Banana propagation. Thanks so much. I usually just whack 'em out with a spade and take off the leaves and re plant. Oops. Love the tip re growing horizonatally also....I get the nor easter full on here and wind damage is an issue. I like the ash and detergent tip and the nightshade info also. Lots I didnt know. Awesome!! Love your vid's. Really helpful and informative without all the long winded waffle . Thanks very much.

[@trebledog]

Well I learned a range of information about bananas my grandfather never taught me. My thanks.

[@LindaHeiHei]

Thank you this video was very helpful, Im wanted to grow a banana patch in the far north around our home

[@antonroberts5672]

A demonstration of the actual planting would be helpful. In Trinidad, we do not plant horizontally. I like the idea and would definitely try it. Good job.

[@nissanseller]

didnt know that you have to cut the stalk and plant just the corm horizontally. thanks for the tip

[@glynnisjames8589]

learnt quite a few things. Thanks very much. I'll be planting all my bananas this way from now on.

[@nateross14]

Cool video. I've never bothered shaving off existing roots when transplanting pups though. Once a root is damaged it turns black and dies so all those roots you're shaving off won't try and regrow, they just die back and the new roots regrow all the same. IMO is easier and actually better to just plant the pup in ground with all the old roots which will just decompose and add extra nutrients to the soil. When getting a new pup to transplant, I always just rinse off the corm and roots and then immediately plant and have 100% success rate transplanting this far.

[@floridaman4073]

Ahh yes, good comment. Do the same thing. Always had success as well. Sell banana locally. Done the same as you over a thousand times over my time as a small grower.

[@deanhoward7534]

Great info. I just planted a whole lot wrong, but they are really tough so they will survive. I know better for the next lot now, so cheers 🍻

Was just going to plant it as is once the roots dried out and in a hole up and down but seems like I will need to give these wonder tips a try instead! Many Thanks -N

[@palmtide]

Helpful tips.

[@CatherineandRob]

Kia ora. Terrifically informative on telling between the two pup types and propagation. Thank you. Do you limit the number of pups you allow to grow around the original (as some growers advise helps ensure good production)? And you don’t seem to cut the fruiting palm down to the ground after it is done.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

Kia ora :) Thanks for the lovely feedback.

[@donnacoggin8621]

This was the most and best information on care and propagation of banana pups I have ever seen on video. Thank you so much. I can hardly wait until until I get some pups.❤

[@nateross14]

Bananas are meant to grow in mats/clumps and you get a better harvest if you let them grow this way rather than individually, but the key is to provide plenty of water, sun, and nutrients to support a large clump. Growing individual or just 3 Banana plants is also fine and easier to manage.

[@ronmelhorne7161]

Should I completely cover the banana if I plant it horizontally?

[@Chocamatoes]

I have seen many videos in Spanish. Though the people are very knowledgeable they confuse the heck out of me. Your video has been very clear and very informative. I will save it for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a simple way that gardener can understand. Do you know the name of the tool that you mentioned? I would love to get it for my elderly father?

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

Thanks!!! Its called a Slammer :)

[@Anythingforfreedom]

How tall should a true pup be to ensure it succeeds? How can I know? I have several that are 4 feet tall but I also have MANY that are 1 foot tall.

[@Two-k-one]

Hello! I have a question. I have a small banana up to 1 meter and I wanted to change its pot from a small one to a bigger one and some of its roots broke. Immediately it started to drop leaves and gradually I lost all the leaves from it. What can I do to revitalize it and grow back?

[@MaxSwedenAgroforestry]

Need more videos!

[@tntee1008]

Hey Frida, Super cool video, so interesting, thank you. I have been given a pup with a few long leaves attached still. Is it a good idea to plant in a pot now in the greenhouse, still following your method, and then plant out in Spring in the orchard? Or just plant it out straight away. I am in Raglan, frost free, orchard is sheltered (Nicky from CROP) ;)

@@permadynamicsnewzealand2698 Will have to check it out sometime, interested in the slammer, do you use the 9 kg or 6 kg version?

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

9kg :) which does make it a mission carrying it around the food forest, but it’s worth it! (Saying that I think the 6kg one could be enough for most situations).

[@Two-k-one]

I saw that you cut all the roots and then at the end you cut it completely from its base, I was worried that I only broke a few roots. I was honestly surprised that you cut all the roots. What should I do with mine to bring it back to life?

[@erice3933]

How many true pups should I allow to mature off of the mother?

[@nateross14]

There's no need to chop off the top of the Pstem of a pup. It wont continue growing until the roots establish and the leaves will supply energy to help the roots grow faster. All that you accomplish by chopping off the top is making it shorter and taking longer to have any leaves.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

the leaves drain the water of the pup. it has enough energy to re-establish leaves. but better it does so after roots have established first.

[@Lukes__foodforest]

Why do you only have two sorts of lady finger and not grow the more popular cavendish bananas? Or the subo for cooking.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

Because they do the best for our climate and soil conditions here. We also not such a fan of the cavendish flavour 😁

[@nateross14]

Wood ash is extremely Alkaline. Only use Ash if your soil is extremely acidic. If you have Neutral or Alkaline soil absolutely do not use ash, it will make your soil worse. Bananas prefer slightly acidic soil.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

The ash is to sterilise the banana pups so we don't spread potential soil diseases around the farm or to others

Very informative thanks dear 15.45 seychelles islands

[@arawak3622]

Must point out two novice errors. There is no reason plant your new sucker (a pup is a baby dog) at an angle. Fact is the sucker will grow new roots from all points in a circle all around, anchoring the new plant on all sides. Besides, the short section of stem left above ground will never be blown around. Second, too much of the old corm is left on the end of the prepared sucker. It will never grow new roots from that section. Safe to say two-thirds of it should be cut away & discarded.
