Guess I've been a long time lurker here but never managed to post anything. Sorry about that. I moved just before this site was started and stopped growing as many bananas and being involved in the previous (now defunct) banana sites. I also jumped ship from GardenWeb to Dave's Garden in 2003, so missed the initial migration here, as well. With the takeover of DG last spring, I've started looking up all of the other sites I sometimes frequent for information in anticipation of my lapsing subscription to that site--Tomatoville for tomatoes, THML for new hibiscus, bananas.org for, well, bananas, etc.
Being in a colder place now than before, I have M. basjoo all over and Musella lasiocarpa, of course, though I have a set of others like Siam Ruby, too. Ensetes, for quick dramatic presence. Maybe an orinoco and a velutina. And the dwarfs. Okay, I guess I have a lot of different bananas still.
I started up my nursery again in my new location and mostly sell heirloom tomatoes and the like, but will probably start offering propagations from many of my subtropicals (bananas, brugs, hibiscus, waterlilies, elephant ears, etc.) next year.
Anyway, thanks for being a great resource, and I'll try to poke my head into a few threads. Maybe I'll have something to say about my last twelve years of growing bananas, or maybe I'll just ask questions. :)
