I live in Central Florida, zone 9b rarely gets below 30 13 miles from the coast
and 2 miles from the Indian River. I have a tiny nursery where we will be
coming out with a new apple for our area next fall or early '13. Have been
trying for a new fruit since I was 20 and am now 70. It is a cross with a
western apple and gorgeous. Also we have a "new" bunch grape. Never had
bananas and have only a 6x24 ft area on the protected S. side of the house.
I have a zan moreno and am thinking of California Gold but wonder as some
have said it is like a cooking banana and Texas star. I would also maybe
like a Mysore but it chokes in Florida? I have so many questions so will
love the forum. I also had a rare fruit nursery and have a LOT of knowledge
on many many fruits that grow here so if email is permitted off the forum
somehow I would answer questions for members. Have been growing for
24 years here. I am most interested in how members foil nematodes and protect plants thru the winter without digging them up. Will Ice Cream take
an unprotected exposure?
I joined to get answers to my questions and although it was nice for members to say hello that doesn't help me at all.
I have since bought bananas but still don't know much about texas star and california gold and ice cream. I thought there
were a lot of banana experts in the forum and there may be but I don't hear from them.. Anyway again thanks for the
welcomes.
