Thumbs up here for Florida Hill. I bought Mahoi in the spring wth a 6" p-stem. My first banana. Potted it up, slowly hardened off, grew it outside for the summer and brought it into my heated basement when temps dropped to upper 30's at night, and it has started accelerating growth again. P-stem is probably 30" tall, nearly 3" diameter at the bottom and it has a pup. Mama's still throwing leaves rapidly. My TC Basjoos from another source have also done really well, better than the actual offset pups I bought from another source. So I have no issues with TCs at the moment. They've done super for me. Huge and beautiful in my daylight basement. My floor is has radiant heat set to 74 degrees and they think they've moved to the tropics. THey may get short on light by spring but for now all the leaves are dark green and amazing.
