Greetings!

I recently moved to Southeastern NC and have been researching different fruits, including bananas, to grow in the area. I stumbled upon the Veinte Cohol as a prime candidate for this region given its short ripening cycle.

It appears I was late in the game this year as all reputable online nurseries were out of stock when I decided to go for it. Found a few listed on Etsy and decided to give it a shot. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1480342..._4&frs=1&crt=1 Seller has good reviews but there's no confirmation from the reviews that they are truly VC pups and I'm not sure what identifying characteristics are used besides sequencing I guess.

Regardless, I'll be giving it a shot on two pups and hopefully keeping up with some updates.

The VC pups should arrive at roughly around 5" in height. I'll likely keep it potted throughout the year and consider planting in ground Spring 2025.

Wish me luck!
