Ed:
I am just letting you know that yes California gold is elusive but I paid a premium for it last November of 2006 $200 for a blooming California Gold plus one 3 foot long pup and I gave the pup to my friend. I got the fruit to mature and ate the fruit even though the arctic blast of 2007 fried all the leaves. I planted the pstem on a wine barrel and the main corm on the ground. The corm bore a pup and it is now about 4 feet tall but there is no pup in sight. After I harvested the fruit the mother bore a pup and it is now a foot and a half tall.
I am just letting you know why it seems like the CG is elusive because of its elusiveness to bore pups unlike my other bananas where they bore 2 or 3 pups even though they are still a pup themselves.
