Default Re: Want cultivar

Gard, have you been to "Plantasjen"? Here in Bergen they have Dwarf Cavendish in right now. Great starters banana. But sadly, not cold-hardy at all.

The double mahoi and williams hybrid are not cold hardy at all either, I would rather reccomend dwarf orinoco, Chini Champa, or Rajapuri for our more or less unpredictable climate! They are offcourse, not as hardy as basjoo but somewhere in between.

It is really too bad the so called "professionals" here in Norway don't offer anything else than "dwarf cavendish". We are living in a Potato Republic indeed.
