![]() ![]() Recommended fertilizer: 8-3-9 (or similar), with manganese, iron and zinc.Be extra careful because trees are very susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball.Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container.It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole.Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container.Do not mix any potting soil, manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant.twice the height of the container, if possible Choose a sunny area for planting with about 15 feet radius of clear space.Here's a link that will further explain actual seeds from a Blue Java fruit.Follow the simple instructions below to plant your tree on the ground. This should also make it obvious that the seed that produce the original or the first Blue Java plant came from the crossing of two other banana varieties neither of which were Blue Java plants. ![]() Because seed formation in a banana cultivar is caused by sexual reproduction it's important to realize that the seeds from a Blue Java fruit will not produce a Blue Java plant. The Blue Java fruit is easily identifiable. Most likely the OP is looking for a vegetative offshoot from a Blue Java but if they're looking for actually seeds from a Blue Java and are concerned about receiving incorrect seeds I would recommend asking the seller to ship the Blue Java fruit with the seeds still in it. If anyone is listing blue java seeds for sale, its a scam, at best they will be a seeded wild species of banana like Musa sikkimensis, Musa velutina etc, but it might not even turn out to be a banana seed at all, there are a lot of dodgy sellers out there. BKINTERPLANTS also is an option but be very careful. i did buy a blue java from turnittropical but it turned out to be a tall namwa! not the sellers fault. I'd recommend digging them up and storing them somewhere cool, but not freezing.Ĭompletely agree. ![]() Of course, they will need to be brought inside for winter or wrapped up like what people do with Musa basjoo. You can see some of them in videos on my youtube channel. If you want an edible variety of banana that will grow reasonably well here in summer (albeit way slower than in a hot summer climate), then I'd recommend Dwarf Orinoco, Rajapuri, Tall Orinoco and Manzano, all of those 4 I grew last year in the ground in my garden and they seemed to handle the cooler night temperatures we get here. Canarius have it on their website at the moment (based in Tenerife), I haven't bought blue java from them, but I have bought many other varieties from them over the years, and they seem to be pretty reliable with their banana labelling. Unfortunately, I have since lost both of those plants. And the other one I got was from .uk, again not sure if it actually was the real blue java. The first one I got several years ago was from a seller in Germany who I believe is a member on here, but he doesn't ship to the UK after Brexit as it's a lot more expensive and a lot of extra paperwork involved. I've purchased blue java pups before, but I can't be certain they were the real blue java, as they often get mixed up with namwah and getting one to flower and fruit here without a large heated greenhouse will be basically impossible. Unfortunately here in the UK, our options are very limited for named varieties of banana plants. Yeah, like Drone said, to grow blue java you'll need to buy a pup from a reputable seller. ![]()
