Howdy Ya'll: From Tom in Portland, OR. USA Found this site, while trying to track down a "California Gold" baby, to test grow one or two, up here in zone 7.
Sorry I don't know one type of banana from another, but would love to find one that we could get to fruit here, with our short growing season.

Also love to have the experts advise what two types created the California Gold Hybrid. In addition, would like to know if there are any tricks to speed fruit production such as using tin foil as a light reflector to hurry things up?!

I am a new cold hardy palm grower, and bananas are a great tropical tie in, for creating one's own tropical relaxation zone, in their yard at home.

That's it, any ideas or assistance would be sincerely appreciated.

Stay Safe, and Pray for Global Warming...good for our tropical plants! :-) Tom
