I would like to get another banana plant, but not sure which. Exotic Plants at Hawaiian Botanicals (http://www.hawaiianbotanicals.com/exoticplants.html) (click on 'Bananas' to see the list of available ones - just the coccinea, lasiocarpa and ornata). I will be overwintering it indoors. I already have a few varities that I have done this with, and I want to add to my collection. I like the flowers, but I'm not sure there would be much chance of me getting them to flower in my climate outside in the summer. If it's small enough, I can grow it during the winter, but if it's too big, I'll have to have it dormant. I grew my Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' over the winter inside, and it's doing very well!
Anyway, I'd just like some tips from those who have grown these, and any advise on growing them in a pot, how big they get, is there a possibility of getting a flower, etc. Also the price - $25 seems okay, but the shipping might be a lot. Don't know how big they ship them as, though - what would a 2 gallon pot equal in plant size?
Thanks.
