Hello Susan, I live in Daytona Beach now and have bought several plantains, even some super plantains but to no avail. They have never grown here. I have gotten them small T/C plants and even a few that were 3 feet tall. None have ever grown here. I got one sent to me from someone Puerto Rico that GAURANTEED it a Plantain and was a field grown plant. It sat in the ground and after a few months it was dead. I have also had other varieties of plantains and the same. I lived in Key West for 30 years and had the same experience. I have just never been able to grow them myself. I also gave up, I will just buy them at the store. LOL
Salute'
