Default Re: Variegated Banana

Years ago, in October, I had a large number of healthy pups - too many to keep. I talked to a nursery owner to see if he would be interested in the pups. He came over with another grower and between the two they bought all 20 of my pups. Most of the pups were as good or better then the Ty Ty plants. The next spring I ask one of the growers if the Ae Ae were starting to grow. He said all of the plants died in the middle of winter. Realize these were professionals in south Florida. No one should move or buy an Ae Ae in cool or cold weather. If Ty Ty doesn't sell them soon they will all be dead. I am sure that you will not see healthy 5 footers on their site come July.
