Hi Tom, we have not been afected by the SIKATOKA virus. Our bananas are climated to live at high altitudes in what we call “Mist Jungle”, we are at 1630 meters above seal level. This variety of bananas is called RESPLANDOR (SUNSHINE), we planted them about 20 years ago, sense they are perennial, the seed they produce (Risoma) at the roots has mantained our plants (we have about 100 plants now). What you see like bamboo is a variety of Hemp that groes near the rivers that flow to the Lake of Maracaibo, this was an error because my daughter didn´t take the knotches of and these finally made holes in the plastic, even do, it lasted 7 years. Our new greenhouse is going to be built with electrical PVC tubing, starting soon. Thanks for the comments.
