Alex,

Sometimes I forget we are in a zone so close to "10", because it is definitely "Zone 9 with hurricanes, multiple freezes, and countless mornings with white on rooves"; no North Texas hail yet, however. But May is nice when some of them come back. Of course, the ones that freeze down spawn large groups of pups which in two months can go for first-class shrubbery.

If you were to look at the variety list of the online outfits Willis, Going Bananas (when they were mailing to TX), The Banana Tree and Stokes (and Green Earth - is he still in business?), I have the larger part of those selections. I get more of a kick out of "Cathy's" from her backyard line of 100 plaintains - all the same, or "An Dao" from in front of that Restaurant, or "Peggy's" from the giants lining the front of her house. I have lots of such plants, just offered out of courtesy, and was given some good bananas to eat also. Of course, no one knows what the heck variety any of these are. At least I know from the bunches I can see hanging that they are Houston Producers.

What are some of your experiences?

Make contact, SB
