Musa 'Mysore' - Mysore Banana

OOOOOOooo No Delonix :(

Jacque:

I guess this plants will not flower or develop
bananas...and it's my favorite tasting lady finger bananas. : > (

:(

How sad for you Andy........its always the favorites that seem to get hit.....

Jacque, Milky:

I cut the top down to about 7 feet...and in the hour I was working outside it grew about 2 inches/ 5 cm out of the stump. I forgot if a banana hasn't bloomed it will still grow and put out leaves...even if the stalk if cut. I may get bananas after all. : > )

Mysore banana plant's ultimate height is between 15 - 18 feet/ 4.6 - 5.5 meters tall. It's was amazing this one grew more than 20 feet/ 6 meters tall.

Sorry to see your banana blown down it looks a wonderful tree.how quickly
will it re grow?

Mushybanna:

Bananas are extremely fast growing plants. During Spring, Summer, and Fall they can grow a full leaf in less than a week. In winter they slow down and grow only 1 to 3 leaves a month...depending on how warm the weather is.

So not all is lost. Back next year?

Theoldgunner:

It is growing back now. Bananas grow here all
year..and there's several pups in back of this
plant also.

5cm an hour! you will be picking bananas in no time.

Rbtkew:

It has grown in 3 days more than 10 inches / 25.5 cm. -- I'll have to measure it to confirm it's actually grown this much though.
