May Banana plant updates!

I'm going to give updates on my banana plants once a month to track their progress. They grow SO FAST! 

Here's a list of my banana plants this year:

- Musa Zebrina - New from a local plant sale! I'm keeping this in a container.

- Musa Sikkimensis "Ever Red" - A local nursery was selling this one! 

- Musa Mekong Giant - A small Plant from Brians Botanical (Musa itinerans var. xishuangbannaensis)

- Musa Velutina - Another small plant from Brians Botanicals 

- Musa Sikkimensis "Bengal Tiger" - A plant delights purchase from 2022. It's now my largest banana and the centerpiece of my backyard

- Ensete Maurelli - Flawless plant that I got as an end of the year bargain in 2022. 

- Musa Ae Ae - I got this at the end of the year in 2023 and I PLANTED IT IN THE GROUND. Say a prayer. 

- Musa Siam Ruby - This did fantastic in the house under growlights this year. Ive had it in the same container for the past 3 years. It's pretty incredible! 

- Ensete giletti - A Brian Botanical Purchase

- Musella Lasciocarpa - I'm excited about this one! Also a Brians Botanical Purchase.

And unfortunately I lost a few of my favorite banana plants. 

- Musa Blue Java - This was my GIANT banana plant that was sold as Viente Cohol that I've had for years. Although it hasn't come back to life yet, I haven't completely given up just yet. I'll give up if I don't see any life by June. 

- Musa Viente Cohol - I got this one last year. It was a sad loss. 

- Musa Zebrina Gran Nain Banana - Another very sad loss.
