Hello! im a newbie here & also a newbie in growing bananas. I live in zone 8 Downunder... So far i only have 2 banana trees, 1 ladyfinger for cool climate & 1 musa banana palm ( i hope this is a fruiting one?)...Soon i'll be getting dwarf red dakar (spell?),a new addition to the family...I hope i'll be able to gain more knowledge on how to grow banana successfully from all the banana's experts here...:2737:
Regards,
Lorikeet

Hi and welcome Lorikeet
Ladyfinger and Dwarf Red are known bananas, don't know what Musa
banana palm is. Maybe you can upload a picture in your gallery?

Lorikeet, where are you in AU ? I understand that a good portion of Queensland is under banana quarantine ...
