:woohoonaner: I got my first Banana trees today!
Raja Puri, Truly Tiny and Dwarf Namwah. Cute little buggers.

Let's hope I can become a good caretaker for them. Send any advice, tips, suggestions, "Do's and Don'ts". I need all the help I can get. Several other banana seeds planted in hopes of germination.

Ultimately, I want to grow an Aeae, but not until I move somewhere tropical.

welcome to the org! nanas in the morning, nanas in the evening, aint we got fun? LOL! welcome to the wonderful world of how many nana trees can i plant in my yard! growing bananas is like an infectious diease..you get one, you have to get another and another and another. then before you know it, it will be..gee my nana trees look lonely lets get some gingers and some palm trees. the next phase of sickness is going to be denile. dont tell me i dont have room for some elephant ears or crotons between my nanas. mulch is going to be your best friend!:)

I got it bad already. I went crazy on eBay and I don't know what to grow first. Fortunately, my fiance lives in the Philippines, so I will be sending lots of seeds to her to grow for us.

I will be moving to Las Vegas soon, so I am holding off propagation for a month or so. Moving the little fellas is going to be a chore. Oh well, I love em.

Welcome welcome, la-hoo la-hoo!

All it takes is a single pup, and then you're in for life...

If you are considering the tropics, may I reccomend Ecuador, banana capital of South America?

Richard, You are the only person who has ever figured that out. I did my thesis on the box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri - The venerable Sea wasp! I am truly impressed. Thank you!
