My name is Joy. We live on the family farm in East Texas. I'd like to learn how to grow edible bananas. My Pawpa used to know how but I was too young to learn at the time.

Holy Mother of PEARL you have a lot of different types of bananas!!!! I got one at the Master Gardener's sale but Fred over watered it and it's died back. I'm going to see if it regrows this Spring. :)

Yea the addiction takes over quickly. Lol. So far All my verities are growing great with help during the winter. I use a hoophouse and also individual cover on some. this year the lowest it has been is 28F so it probably wasn't even needed this year. I'm still new to bananas also. I hope to get my first fruit this year. Other than Orinoco. Your welcome to PM me anytime.
