The only Cavs I ever see growing in peoples yard are Dwarf Cavs because of their small stature and the small yards that people have here.
Last time I went to Ko'olau Farms they had virused 'nanners. I told the guy running the cash register, but he said the owner didn't want to get rid of them. (for all I know, the guy running the register may have been the owner, and was just putting me off). When I get 'nanners from Wal-Mart, they are usually the smaller pots, and I think they were running about 14.99 or so. The Wal-mart in Pearl City had a dwarf Red recently that was showing bunchy signs recently. I told them about it, and it's not there now.
