Default A kid in a candy store at Going Bananas!

On May 3, 2017, I went to Going Bananas located in Homestead, Florida and I purchased a couple of 'nana varieties!....Don and Katie, are the owners of Going Bananas, at nursery dedicated most to 'nana varieties!...I have been there a couple of times!....Every time I go there, Don always forgot about me!....LOL....


*****I would emphasizes, I'm not affiliated in any way with Going Bananas or getting paid to do this!.....I just want to recognized their contribution, dedication and hard work to the 'nana society/world!*****


Don is an exceptional human being!...A very intellectual and a calm person!....Same as Don's wife, Katie!...Katie most of the time, manages the nursery/business customer service!....Very honest and good people!....

Don mentioned that Gabe (Gabe15) is one of the most acknowledgeable persons of the world about 'nanas, along with Mrs. Angela Kepler (from the book World Of Bananas In Hawaii)....Don and Gabe are very good friends!....


Don let me take a bunch of pictures in which I'm sharing with you 'nana members/addicts!....Thank you Don for have the time and the patience to showed me around!.....


Pictures taken on May 3, 2017....Please don't ask me for the names of the nana varieties on the pictures!....so many pictures!....LOL....
