Hi, I'm Barrie from Bucks...I have a small selection of bananas in my greenhouse, ie basjoo, cavendish, rajapuri, dwarf orinoco, sikkimensis Red Tiger, and ensette maurelli and I've got Siam Ruby and Tropicana on order. This is the first year I've managed to get them through winter, albeit with horrendous electricity bills. If I ever manage to harvest a bloody banana from one of these blighters, they will be the most expensive fruit I've ever grown.

Basjoo and rajapuri are currently trying to push the greenhouse roof off, despite replacing my old wooden greenhouse with a belgian model with a 9ft high ridge.

I'm currently looking for a Williams hybrid...there seems to be only one nursery with it listed but they are currently out of stock. Can anyone help?

Welcome, Barrie! Is Bucks a location? Where's that?

Welcome!

I'd recommend you pursue Dwarf Namwah instead of Williams.
