Whats important is my children like them and my rabbit used to sit next to me quietly while I ate bananas knowing he'd get to eat the skins.
I really don't want my yard to look like everyone else's ( and I promise it doesn't).
Anyway - any ideas on why this plant isn't appreciated? Anyone ever run into the same attitude?

I think it is seen as a low class plant because the poor migrants from South America and Asia grow them. Take a trip to a poor ethnic neighborhood and you'll surely find bananas growing on just about every street, at least here in Cali anyway.
