Hi All,

Found a local off craig's list and went to his place in West Los Angeles. I got a beautiful, leafing, potted Ae Ae, about 18" tall. I also bought two freshly dug Ae Ae keiki.

Pick axe in hand, I dug a two foot by two foot trench and amended it with compost, worm castings, organic acid fertilizer and Super Soil. After all the Ae Aes were planted, I mulched with aged miniture redwood bark. As I am frost free and in a canyon, the Ae Ae should be set before our deadly cold 60 degree Southern California winters. :bunchonanas:

I also got three White Iholene for up on my hill side for steaming use.

Next-to find some ele ele...

Nice job David! Are you the same person that bought a Red and an Apple from me a few months back that I had on Craigs list?

Alas-no. These are my first six bananas here. I've got about 3/4 of an acre to play with...


Let me know when you have keikis-we're neighbors. :)
