Hello from the LowCountry of South Carolina ! I am a former TV photo journalist for a major network in LosAngles. I retired from that profession to follow my passion of growing tropicals at my home. I live near Hilton Head Island in South Carolina where I experience very hot and humid summers but relatively mild winters.
While living in Mission Viejo California, I developed a huge love of Citrus Trees. I remember traveling down the 5 freeway and having the beautiful scent of orange blossoms treat my senses. But, alas, Smog Free Orange County Calif. gave way to Orange Free Smog County. The orange and avocado trees gave way to large housing tracks. So I brought my love of Tropical Plants to my retirement home.
I grow Black Pepper plants, Pineapples , Coco plants, Allspice Trees, Cinnamon trees and of course Bananas . Some of my Tropicals are in the early stage of growth and some are in advanced stages of fruiting maturity. Oh, I also grow Carnivorous plants to help keep down the "critter" population.
I am looking forward to getting a good deal of information, on growing Bananas, from this forum.
