With the weather you've got, I'd suggest you wait...

You can never go wrong with Namwah (tall or dwarf). They are delicious and a great prolific beginner plant when taken properly care of.

Any idea where to find these in Nor cal (SF area)? Doesn't seem like many places sell these, for some reason.

I posted in the For Sale/Trade thread, but no responses.

These sound like a perfect one to try.

I live in San Antonio also. I am wanting to try my hand at planting a few also.

Did anyone get in contact with you regarding where to buy the trees here locally? or can someone just give up a couple pups?

Send me a PM, I grow both varieties.
But this was not the reason why I have recommended it. I truely believe that they are a delicious and easy to grow variety. It was my very first banana plant and it is definitely "a keeper".

I'm in the central valley. Its very hard to find a decent banana selection Your almost better off ordering in the bananas you want and selling off the pups. I started off with a crappy Lowe's banana and a unidentified craigslist special. I wanted selection and variety so I ended up eating some shipping and ordered from different places in Florida. I now have over a dozen varieties

Good luck

DO NOT EVER order from TYTY in GA
Tree & Plant Nursery | Order Online & Ship Free Nationwide (http://www.tytyga.com/)

I have had one hell of a fight with them for the plants that they shipped...

1. Plants were not what I ordered.. I ordered a fruiting size tree they sent a small pup... (about 23 inch tall from bottom of root)
2. They were damaged due to improper handling/packing

TYTY nursery pretty much washed their hands of all responsibility for the shipment. wouldn't replace damaged goods or even send correct trees.

Luckily enough I had the plants back in the mail by the third business day so I should get a full refund. still waiting on that though.
