Wow - thanks for all the info! I am amazed!

That ornamental one you described lorax, sounds awesome - is it a dwarf? I want something extremely ornamental, as opposed to edible.

I also have a fluorescent and metal halide light system, so supplemental lighting can be offered in the winter, to sustain my plant/s.

I enjoy growing plants mainly from seed, and would get a certain satisfaction from growing a banana tree this way. A store bought one is not as rewarding to me. I am willing to trade for some seeds of an ornamental dwarf banana variety. Although I don't have banana seeds, I do have many other fruit tree seeds, and tons of veggie, herb, and flower seeds too!

I too, am huge on good drainage in all my pots, but thank you for the advice. Nothing worse than a plant sitting in soggy soil! Yikes!

I will explore this forum further shortly - a bit busy, getting ready for the season and all. I am very happy I joined here! Thank you for all the comments and welcomes.

Looking forward to a possible seed trade with someone...
