HI,
New member from inland Queensland Australia.

Finally got around to ordering a few banana suckers, grew Lady Fingers and Cavendish for a living for a few years down in Northern NSW.

I have had to order Tissue Culture plants due to disease restrictions on planting and where you can obtain plants from.

So I have ordered: Goldfinger, Dwarf Ducasse, Blue Java.

They arrive in post tubes and are meant to be about 1m in height.

And where I am, I dont get any Frosts so thats a plus.

Great Forum.

cheers

HI,
Being Australia, any plants have to be Australian.
Cant buy them off Ebay etc.

So I am getting them from here:

Blue Sky Backyard Bananas | Banana Plants (http://www.backyardbananas.com.au/order.html)

Glad to have you with us! There are a lot of experts in this Org. with a world of experience to help. I had a friend in Perth that was fun, but lost track.
All the best,

Welcome fellow Queenslander, I got some of those a while back and are doing well now. At planting time we had a year and a half drought which stunted their growth but they are shooting off now.
Good luck
