Re: A cold hardy stand of bananas in a Sacramento backyard.
Wow, I didn't know this would get this much debate. As a new wrinkle for you, I got a couple Orinoco pups from AnnaJW earlier this spring and hers looks nothing like the pups I just got from my friend. Anna's has a nice red blush and the new pups have no detectable red or pink on them and a yellow midrib. They look more like my CA Gold, only much taller and the Gold has a very, very, faint, pinkish gold midrib.
My friend has small bananas on his plants now, so I'll get some as the frost hits (so they mature as much as possible) and look for seeds.
I did see another stand of cold hardy bananas years ago in Pleasant Grove just north of Sacramento. It was twice the size of my friend's mats and I've wanted to always go back for a pup. I now want to go back and see if it looks like my friend's...
and get a pup...
