Pictures of what a banana tree looks like are as follows:
Banana trees can either be grown as an annual species or in a hosta cultivation, which is renewed every 5-6 or 3-4 years of planting.
At present, the vast majority of banana-producing areas generally adopt the cultivation method of lodging cultivation and replanting every 5-6 years. And most banana-producing areas in mainland China generally adopt the cultivation method of lodging cultivation and replanting every 2-4 years.
The time it takes for bananas to ripen from planting has a lot to do with the climate, and in general, the closer it is to the equator, the shorter the growth cycle.
If it is in countries such as Laos and Myanmar, it only takes about 8 months from planting to ripening, while in China's Hainan Province, it takes about 9-10 months from planting to ripening.
In the case of the two regions, it takes about 10-11 months from planting to maturity.
Four periods of banana growth:
The growth process of banana is divided into four stages, namely the seedling stage, the nutritive growth period, the gestation bud stage and the fruit ripening stage.
1, seedling period refers to the sucker bud sprouting out of the soil until the extraction of large leaves, about 2-3 months or so.
2, the nutritive growth period refers to the beginning of the extraction of large leaves to the flower buds before the differentiation, about 5-6 months or so, in this period of time, the number of leaves and leaf area increased rapidly, nutrients accumulated in large quantities.
3. The bud stage refers to the period from the differentiation of the flower buds to the bud extraction, which is about 3-4 months, during which the petiole thickens, the male flowers begin to differentiate, and the flowers and young fruits develop at the same time.
4, fruit maturity refers to the male and female flower differentiation is completed to the fruit is fully mature, during this period, the fruit is rapidly expanding, the lower leaves gradually yellow.
