Default Re: which are the right sugar banana suckers to plant

Lady finger suckers ? or sugar = Ducasse ?

Either way sword are supposed to go better but water suckers just take longer to get established.

And Yes May should be ok to plant as you apear not to be too far from the coast.

Do you use the ones that grow next to the parent tree or away from it.
I haven't grown bananas from suckers for about 20 years. I remember something about using the right ones or the new plants won't get any fruit.
