More Banana plant info (Banana Leaves Recipes at bottom of this page) Banana Plant Information Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms. Today's commercial banana trees are scientifically classified into the genus Musa of the Musaceae family. The Cavendish banana tree is the most common variety of bananas now imported to the United States. The Cavendish banana tree is a shorter, stubbier plant than earlier varieties. It was developed to resist plant diseases, insects and windstorms better than its predecessors. The Cavendish banana tree fruit is of medium size, has a creamier, smooth texture, and a thinner peel than earlier varieties. Banana trees are perennial crops that are grown and harvested year-round. The banana plant does not grow from a seed but rather from a rhizome or bulb. Each fleshy banana plant bulb will sprout new shoots year after year. Each banana plant bears only one stem of fruit. To produce a new stem, only two shoots - known as the daughter and the granddaughter - are allowed to grow and be cultivated from the main banana plant. The banana tree reaches its full height of 6 to 25 feet in about one year. The trunk of a banana plant is made of sheaths of overlapping leaves, tightly wrapped around each other like celery stalks. When a banana tree leaf formation is completed, a flowering stalk emerges from the top and a large bud grows downward from the stalk's tip. Purplish leaves around the bud unfold and banana blossoms are revealed. Each female blossom becomes an individual banana fruit. On each banana tree stem, ten or more bananas growing together are called ""hands"" and a single banana is called a ""finger."" Four to six bananas sold in the retail store are called a ""cluster."" Within 10 to 12 months, banana tree stems are ready to be harvested. Stems average 150 fingers and weigh 85 to 100 pounds each. Once a stem is removed, the main plant is cut away and the daughter becomes the main plant repeated the cycle. HOW TO GROW BANANAS The banana (Musa accuminata) is a berry formed from a superior ovary of three joined carpels arranged in an axile placentation. The flowers are born on long and pendulous inflorescence which are usually unisexual, that is, the female flowers are born near to the base of the peduncle (producing the typical banana berry fruits) whilst the male flowers are born on the tip of the same peduncle. Seed may be produced or more usually, develop the berry parthenocarpically. Both the seeded and the parthenocarpic berry are very similar in structure when flowering. Broad, long, graceful leaves and rapid growth- commonly reaching full size in just a few weeks-make banana a favorite plant for providing a tropical look to pool and patio areas. The development of bananas following a frost-free winter is a source of both pride and amazement to those unfamiliar with banana culture. Banana is a tropical herbaceous plant consisting of an underground corm and a trunk (pseudostem) comprised of concentric layers of leaf sheaths. At 10 to 15 months after the emergence of a new plant, its true stem rapidly grows up through the center and emerges as a terminal inflorescence which bears fruit. The flowers appear in groups (hands) along the stem and are covered by purplish bracts which roll back and shed as the fruit stem develops. The first hands to appear contain female flowers which will develop into bananas (usually seedless in edible types). The number of hands of female flowers varies from a few to more than 10, after which numerous hands of sterile flowers appear and shed in succession, followed by numerous hands of male flowers which also shed. Generally, a bract rolls up and sheds to expose a new hand of flowers almost daily. Soil and Site Selection Banana grows in a wide variety of soils, as long as the soil is deep and has good internal and surface drainage. The effect of poorly drained soils can be partly overcome by planting in raised beds, as the plant does not tolerate poor drainage or flooding. The planting site should be chosen for protection from wind and cold weather, if possible. The warmest location in the home landscape is near the south or southeast side of the house. Banana Plant FROST Protection: Bananas flourish best under uniformly warm conditions but can survive 28Â° F for short periods. If the temperature does not fall below 22Â° F and the cold period is short, the underground rhizome will usually survive. To keep the plants that are above ground producing, protection against low temperatures is very important. Wrap trunk or cover with blanket if the banana plants are small and low temperatures are predicted. You can also dig up the roots with or without the banana plant above the ground, and store in a dark dry place inside untill spring. This is the best way for most. Banana tree Fertilization: Their rapid growth rate make bananas plants heavy feeders. During warm weather, apply a balanced fertilizer once a month--a 8:10:8 NPK fertilizer appears to be adequate. A mature plant may require as much as 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of the above fertilizer each month. Young banana plants need a quarter to a third as much. Spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant in a circle extending 4 feet from the trunk. Feed container banana plants on the same monthly schedule using about half the rate for outside plants. Soil: Banana plants will grow in most soils, but to thrive, they should be planted in a rich, well-drained soil. The best possible location would be above an abandoned compost heap. Cold protection of the top is possible by use of coverings and heat sources, but such is not often practical. However, in colder locations, soil can be banked around the trunk just before a projected cold spell to better protect the underground buds, which will allow the plant to regenerate in the coming spring. Unprotected but well-established bananas across the U.S., with some exceptions, will regenerated after light freezes. Some people dig the entire plant, rhizome and all, remove the leaves and store the plant, dry, in a heated area over winter. To assure survival, it is easier to dig small suckers, severed very close to the parent rhizome, and pot them for overwintering indoors.Banana Plants and Banana Trees at our Yahoo store.Banana Plants and Banana Trees Co. info@Banana-Plants.com Melbourne, FloridaThe most popular greenhouse banana, will bear bunches with up to 90 bananas, each slightly shorter than the âgrocery storeâ varieties.

Even though bananas are a fruit that tastes quite sweet when ripe—containing 14-15 grams of total sugar—bananas receive a rating of low in their glycemic index (GI) value. GI measures the impact of a food on our blood sugar.

More Banana plant info (Banana Leaves Recipes at bottom of this page) Banana Plant Information Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms. Today's commercial banana trees are scientifically classified into the genus Musa of the Musaceae family. The Cavendish banana tree is the most common variety of bananas now imported to the United States. The Cavendish banana tree is a shorter, stubbier plant than earlier varieties. It was developed to resist plant diseases, insects and windstorms better than its predecessors. The Cavendish banana tree fruit is of medium size, has a creamier, smooth texture, and a thinner peel than earlier varieties. Banana trees are perennial crops that are grown and harvested year-round. The banana plant does not grow from a seed but rather from a rhizome or bulb. Each fleshy banana plant bulb will sprout new shoots year after year. Each banana plant bears only one stem of fruit. To produce a new stem, only two shoots - known as the daughter and the granddaughter - are allowed to grow and be cultivated from the main banana plant. The banana tree reaches its full height of 6 to 25 feet in about one year. The trunk of a banana plant is made of sheaths of overlapping leaves, tightly wrapped around each other like celery stalks. When a banana tree leaf formation is completed, a flowering stalk emerges from the top and a large bud grows downward from the stalk's tip. Purplish leaves around the bud unfold and banana blossoms are revealed. Each female blossom becomes an individual banana fruit. On each banana tree stem, ten or more bananas growing together are called ""hands"" and a single banana is called a ""finger."" Four to six bananas sold in the retail store are called a ""cluster."" Within 10 to 12 months, banana tree stems are ready to be harvested. Stems average 150 fingers and weigh 85 to 100 pounds each. Once a stem is removed, the main plant is cut away and the daughter becomes the main plant repeated the cycle. HOW TO GROW BANANAS The banana (Musa accuminata) is a berry formed from a superior ovary of three joined carpels arranged in an axile placentation. The flowers are born on long and pendulous inflorescence which are usually unisexual, that is, the female flowers are born near to the base of the peduncle (producing the typical banana berry fruits) whilst the male flowers are born on the tip of the same peduncle. Seed may be produced or more usually, develop the berry parthenocarpically. Both the seeded and the parthenocarpic berry are very similar in structure when flowering. Broad, long, graceful leaves and rapid growth- commonly reaching full size in just a few weeks-make banana a favorite plant for providing a tropical look to pool and patio areas. The development of bananas following a frost-free winter is a source of both pride and amazement to those unfamiliar with banana culture. Banana is a tropical herbaceous plant consisting of an underground corm and a trunk (pseudostem) comprised of concentric layers of leaf sheaths. At 10 to 15 months after the emergence of a new plant, its true stem rapidly grows up through the center and emerges as a terminal inflorescence which bears fruit. The flowers appear in groups (hands) along the stem and are covered by purplish bracts which roll back and shed as the fruit stem develops. The first hands to appear contain female flowers which will develop into bananas (usually seedless in edible types). The number of hands of female flowers varies from a few to more than 10, after which numerous hands of sterile flowers appear and shed in succession, followed by numerous hands of male flowers which also shed. Generally, a bract rolls up and sheds to expose a new hand of flowers almost daily. Soil and Site Selection Banana grows in a wide variety of soils, as long as the soil is deep and has good internal and surface drainage. The effect of poorly drained soils can be partly overcome by planting in raised beds, as the plant does not tolerate poor drainage or flooding. The planting site should be chosen for protection from wind and cold weather, if possible. The warmest location in the home landscape is near the south or southeast side of the house. Banana Plant FROST Protection: Bananas flourish best under uniformly warm conditions but can survive 28Â° F for short periods. If the temperature does not fall below 22Â° F and the cold period is short, the underground rhizome will usually survive. To keep the plants that are above ground producing, protection against low temperatures is very important. Wrap trunk or cover with blanket if the banana plants are small and low temperatures are predicted. You can also dig up the roots with or without the banana plant above the ground, and store in a dark dry place inside untill spring. This is the best way for most. Banana tree Fertilization: Their rapid growth rate make bananas plants heavy feeders. During warm weather, apply a balanced fertilizer once a month--a 8:10:8 NPK fertilizer appears to be adequate. A mature plant may require as much as 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of the above fertilizer each month. Young banana plants need a quarter to a third as much. Spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant in a circle extending 4 feet from the trunk. Feed container banana plants on the same monthly schedule using about half the rate for outside plants. Soil: Banana plants will grow in most soils, but to thrive, they should be planted in a rich, well-drained soil. The best possible location would be above an abandoned compost heap. Cold protection of the top is possible by use of coverings and heat sources, but such is not often practical. However, in colder locations, soil can be banked around the trunk just before a projected cold spell to better protect the underground buds, which will allow the plant to regenerate in the coming spring. Unprotected but well-established bananas across the U.S., with some exceptions, will regenerated after light freezes. Some people dig the entire plant, rhizome and all, remove the leaves and store the plant, dry, in a heated area over winter. To assure survival, it is easier to dig small suckers, severed very close to the parent rhizome, and pot them for overwintering indoors.Banana Plants and Banana Trees at our Yahoo store.Banana Plants and Banana Trees Co. info@Banana-Plants.com Melbourne, FloridaThe most popular greenhouse banana, will bear bunches with up to 90 bananas, each slightly shorter than the âgrocery storeâ varieties.

- Methods. Catechol oxidase is the enzyme responsible for the browning of fruit. It is easy to prepare from a number of different sources – bananas are particularly good – and the reaction is readily followed using a colorimeter.nvestigating the effect of pH. A reaction mix containing 0.01M catechol should give a good response at 25°C. (0.3mls 0.1M catechol + 2.6mls buffer added to 0.1mls enzyme extract in a standard cuvette). The initial straight line portion of the graph of absorbance against time gives V i – the initial rate of reaction.

How many mg of potassium are in a banana? A medium banana has about 422 mg of potassium. A banana is a pretty good source of potassium. However it is not sensational. It has about the same potassium content per calori…e as a potato. While it's true that the average potato has roughly as much potassium as a banana, boiling/mashing potatoes will remove a large portion of that potassium.
