Although it was very fun to grow I have decided not to grow another Banana tree.<br />
<br />
I did however get a start of a Gunnera Manicata (Dinosaur food plant) last fall that made the winter well and is growing nicely. It is a bit more hardy in our zone and just needs lot of food like the Banana tree did.<br />

It has several pups including a large one off the main pseudostem that I will be removing when it reaches a foot tall. It is to close and interfering with the main stems growth. I already have a request for the pup.<br />

It is now to big for the house and the corm and stalk will have a better chance of not freezing over the wither if it is in the ground rather than in a pot. I also am placing a PVC greenhouse over it. I fully expect the leaves will not survive the freezes but I do hope at least the thicker part of the stalk will survive for a quicker recuperation next spring.</span><br />

I have not done any measurements of my original banana tree in some time so I thought I would do so.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Circumference: 16" (at widest part of base)<br />
Height: 27" to top of of a psudostem. (bottom of current leaf roll)<br />
Largest leaf: 22.5" (the latest one) Largest leaf was about 24" once.<br />
Number of leafs: 13 (not it including the current emerging leafroll, Leafs come and go but the leaf count usually remains at around 13)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Next month I plan to plant Caven in the ground as he is now to big for the house. I will put a clear plastic mini green house around him for the winter and hope for a milder winter than last year. Hopefully I only lose the leafs and most of the psudostem will survive. It all depends on how many consecutive cold freezing days we get that determine how deep the plant gets frozen. The photos below show his growth progress and where he will be planted.</div>

Actually some friends brought over a couple pots and some soil and ask me to pot a couple pups for another friend of ours. They have been established away from mom in the ground for some time now so they should re-establish quite well in there new mobile home.<br />
<br />
Here they are in the ground and then after I have them in there new pots ready for their new home.<br />

I am also collecting 2x4's to make into 2x2's for a 2x2 green house I am building as I am able and old 2x4 become available. I have used a number of old 2x2's, 2x4's, and 2x6's that are around the property because they each only need to be 5' ft long. I hope to find several more so I do not have to buy them for this purely pet project.<br />

My first attempt at a mounted time lapse video <a href="http://paulsbananaplantation.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-unfolding-of-banana-leaf.html" target="_blank">Unfolding of banana leaf - Timelapse video Take One</a> was not very smooth as it only had 2 frames a day at 12 hrs apart for 11 days. 'Take Two' shows a leaf unrolling with 2-4 shots a day for 16 days. I am confident this will provide a much smoother video.<br />
<br />
Here is my 'Take Two' attempt at a time lapse video of a leaf unrolling from just a curl, through a cigar to a cone, to the unrolling of a full grown 24" x 13" leaf. Meanwhile... the next leafroll will rise to receive a bit of its own attention on the screen.<br />

<b>The making of: Unfolding of banana leaf - Timelapse Video - Take Two</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
For the few who are interested here is more on this video. Keep in mind I am an amature and I am only using a point and shoot camera. '<a href="http://paulsbananaplantation.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-unfolding-of-banana-leaf.html" target="_blank">Take One</a>' was my first attempt at making a real timelapse video but I wanted to see if I could make an even smoother one by taking more frequent shots each day<i>(usually three)</i>. I am also hoping on a better position as my last video ended up being the back of a leaf as they do not exactly announce what direction they will unfold. <b>EDIT:</b> Once again the leaf is not in a good position to get a good view, so this time I am slightly rotating the whole plant just a bit before each shot to get stop some action movement of the pot moving to a better position to view the leaf unrolling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-69ifbQjT82U/Uy8J5fROPQI/AAAAAAAASUQ/BIJbBs_UEcM/s1600/DSN1817_Camera_mounted_for_timelapse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-69ifbQjT82U/Uy8J5fROPQI/AAAAAAAASUQ/BIJbBs_UEcM/s1600/DSN1817_Camera_mounted_for_timelapse.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I relocated the camera higher than my first attempt to frame leaf better.</div>
<br />
<b> Record Of shots taken for the action</b>, I have no set schedule this time , but I am taking 3-4 shots each day. It is not practical for me to set definite time each day to take the shots as I have to do it around my daily life. After all this is only a hobby to enjoy and do when I have time and feel like it. I have to admit though I do enjoy it and look forward to spending time with my banana hobby.<br />
<br />
<b>April 1</b> - <b>Shot 1</b> -<b>Roll height <u>9.25"</u> </b>at 11:00 am from a higher point than <a href="http://paulsbananaplantation.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-unfolding-of-banana-leaf.html" target="_blank">Unfolding of banana leaf - Timelapse Video - Take One</a> so I will have a better frame this time and not have to adjust camera height through the frames.<br />

<b><br /></b><b>April</b><b> 2 Shot 5 - 8:15 am - </b><u style="font-weight: bold;">10.25"</u> - I noticed a brownish pigment blotch on the emerging leafroll, an unusual birthmark for a mature leaf. I will be watching it to see what it turns into.<br />
<b>April</b><b> 2 Shot 6 - 11:00 am</b><br />
<b>April</b><b> 2 Shot 7 - 3:00 pm <u>10 3/4"</u></b><br />

<b>April 4 Shot 13 - 6:48 pm <u>15 1/2"</u> </b>Grocer day so no day shots. not a lot of height growth but added some girth as it is starting to unroll.<br />
<b>April </b><b>4</b><b> Shot 14 - 10:35 pm <u>16 1/4"</u> </b>Turn the light on override to take a shot as there has been significant growth.<br />

<b>April 5 Shot 17 - 5:16 </b>Started a slow counter clockwise rotation of the pot to catch the leaf rolling out from the front as the back appears to me opening on camera side. I hope this will be a neat effect in the finished product to catch the leaf folding out from the top side instead of the back like last time. As it is now my guess as to which way it would open out was off 180 by degrees.<br />
<b>April 5 Shot 18 - </b><b>10:44 pm <u>17 3/4</u> </b>Rotated pot counter clockwise a bit(1-2"?) for stop motion turn effect. Overrode timer for evening shot since we had Wallaces over for dinner.<br />

<b>April 7 Shot 24 - 8:10 am <u>20"</u> </b>Rotated pot counter clockwise a bit as the cigars center rib has not seemed to be moving and I want to optimize it unfolding view. However the rest of the leaf has significantly rotated around as it is unfolding as would be expected.<br />

I will have to reset and try again to to get a true Timelapse effect as this first attempt was pretty jumpy. Stay tuned as the next leaf that rolls rolls out I will make a new improved timelapse video - take Two.<br />

<b>Shot 21 April 1 - Tue 8:30 AM</b> - <b><u>23.25</u></b><u>"</u> - Although Significantly unfurled and some emerging to from the P-Stem I have been needing to pan the camera up to get the whole leaf in the shot thus destroying a real Timelapse video.

<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b style="font-size: medium;"> Goal:</b><span style="font-size: small;"> To take daily shots from a stably mounted camera to lead to a time lapse video.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 15px;"> Day 1 is too early to start the time lapse as the subject is still buried deep inside the current unrolling leaf. So here are some inside shots. </span> I love these deep shots inside. <span style="font-size: 15px;"> In a week or so we should have enough photos to make the time lapse video leading to a full grown leaf of 22 plus inches.</span><br />

I will also be removing three pups and giving them their own pots. The biggest one will be going to my Mom. The 21 gallon wine barrel liner had a very wide top ledge. It was so wide that it would not fit through the narrow 26" walk in closet door, so I had to modify the rather wide to lip. When I was done I watered it in with a gallon of Fruit Fuel fertilizer.</span><br />
