Tropicals & Citrus - Banana
| Novak Super Dwarf Banana - musa x paradistaca |
|---|
Petite plant grows only 3-4' tall in containers or outside in frost free areas. Can produce very tasty fruit if grown outside in the warm months. Does well indoors or on a patio. The smallest dwarf banana we've seen! Care: good light, water thoroughly but never allow to sit in water. Feed balanced fertilizer that's high in potassium every few months, protect from frost. We fruit our Novak Super Dwarfs in at least 25 gallon containers. This gives the plant plenty of room to produce a bunch of bananas. We let the 1st banana yellow on the plant then cut the stalk with the bananas attached and hang them in a place like a kitchen and pick them as they ripen. I'd like to see more of these beauties planted in office buildings lobbies, malls, Florida rooms, and enclosed pools. zone 9-10

| Mortensen Grape - American x Vitis vinifera | Kay Grey Grape - Vitus species |
Mortensen had very interesting beginnings before it was named Mortensen. It is the best bunch grape to grow for great taste and large fruit in Southern US, including Houston, Mississippi and Florida. Read our " more info " section for the story. Mortensen grows where California type or New York type grapes die quickly from Pierce's Disease, usually surviving only a few years. The fruit is large, tasty and sweet (3/4" diameter, 4 grams per berry) with only two seeds. Has proven hardy and delicious at our nursery in Virginia. Needs sprays to control Black rot or bagging the grape clusters with wax bags to control the black rot. Zone 7-10.
|
The following description comes from Lon Rombough, a grape enthusiast,author,nurseryman living near Portland, OR. Kay Gray. A white grape bred by Elmer Swenson in Osceola, Wisconsin. Found almost by accident. One year, Mr. Swenson was ill and didn't spray his vineyard. One seedling vine stood out for it's health and freedom from downy mildew. The clusters and berries are many, with a labrusca flavor. Flavor varies with climate, ranging from a rather ordinary labrusca to a pleasant fruity flavor depending on where it is grown. In addition to the good resistance to disease, the vine has withstood -42 degrees F without damage. The vines are vigorous. Vines can be trained to cordons with three bud spurs, or to canes to insure more crop. Liked by organic growers, the clusters are pleasant to eat. Kay Grey is a cross between MN 78 and Golden Muscat.
