Sister went there for a Honey Moon. What nanners grow there? She got a pic standing next two a stem hanging down with a TON of nanners on it! Also that huge bird of paradise banana plant.

Blownz - here we have several types of plantain, dwarf cavendish, dwarf williams, manzano, blue java, orinoco, dwarf orinoco, ladyfinger, orito, 1000 fingers, saba, reds, and probably lots more - they all grow well here and the bunches are usually huge.

I was in DR a couple years ago,,on a tour, to a banana plantation, and the nanas were sooooo sweet and good..that is what has made me want to grow them.. i know they wont be as good,,but it is sure fun trying..my hubbie and me are planning a trip back there this winter,,maybe you could give us some recommended places to see,,besides tours, never hurts to ask:) thanks ahead dee
