Default Re: Wanted: Tetrapanax papyrifera 'Steroidal Giant'

Been searching the woods now and then for wild nanners, those things are everywhere. I thought they were a kind of weed, until I began to see how many people have them in the northern zones. They are tropical looking but they get way too big for my yard.

Btw, I agree with growing on high water tables. But how do the bananas do it? I mean, if the soil stays wet than the roots rot. Yet, I know of a couple places where the nanas are only inches from the water and still fruiting?
