I am interested in Sabas or other large banana varieties. Finding a Musa Itinerans might be a stretch, but I have to ask. I want big plants for ornamental purposes mainly.

I will pay for bananas and shipping.
Thanks for your response.

Thanks, I'm still waiting for a reply from a previous response too. I'm still hoping for one.

Saba is generally know as the goliath of bananas -atleast when mature. But is relative growth that quick? In a typical northeast-state summer, will a Saba get to be bigger in all of its parts in October than a Musa Basjoo or Sikkimensis planted at the same time & same size? This would be a determining factor for me to try growing Saba outside..

Mine grow fast compared to the average for the others in the yard.
