Hi everyone. I am looking to purchase a Mauritius pup. Was hoping a member might have one for sale. Cannot locate any nursery that carries the Mauritius.
Thanks
Kevin

Here's a link, they might have it. Why Mauritius?

probably because of it's small size and the ability to containerize.

from the website:
"4 ft. in height and produces a small bunch of sweet full sized creamy fruit. Great for containerized growing or small area."

here's another lead:

There's always SDC that could be a good replacement until you find Mauritius.

Height is very important when you live in Massachusetts and have 7.5 foot ceilings. Mauritius is short and suppose to give you a regular size banana. Sounder good to me.
