Hi and welcome scotty. You should post something to say hello in the members introductions so folks here can welcome you. What part of SA are you from. Just recently a woman from Natal joined up. It would be great to hear more from growers in your part of the world. I was in free state and limpopo provinces a few years ago but unfortunately didn't pay much attention to the bananas. I was fascinated by your wonderful aloes there and some how a few camel thorn seeds came back with me by accident.
We'd all love to hear more about your bananas and those in South Africa.
