Hi all
I just discovered this site and decided to join.
I am growing young Banana plants for the garden and also to sell at plant shows and Local shows.
Most plants are around 12 inches tall at the moment and in 1 ltr pots soon to be re-potted up to 5 ltrs.
I have grown from seed before but found it hitty/missy but the last batch of 100 have been bought in from a professional grower and I have to say, I am very pleased with the quality and also the growth so far! Varieties are Ensette Maurelii and Mussa Tandara Red as I like the red veined leaves.
All my plants are kept in a 20 ft pollytunnel and seem to thrive on the conditions.
I also grow Chillies on a small scale (approx 100 plants 8 or 9 varieties)
Are there any other UK Banana plant growers out there?

Welcome to the forum! If you grow anything at all, you'll love this site. I'll definitely second the pin-the-wiki-map thing. It helps members locate you and the type of bananas you grow quite easily. Red veined leaves? I'm a newbie too. Thanks much for the information on that!
