You are on the right track to hunt for one here. Just make sure the member has posted here over some time as they are most likely to know a real AeAe and would likely not sell you the look alike "Florida" Musa as many other on line sellers will do. Not to talk bad about the "Florida" as it too is a great Variegated banana and in my opinion easier to grow. Just be patient and check here often on the "bananas for sale" forum and other sub forums. Summer is winding down and many that have extra plants are likely to sell them before they have to over winter them.
