Greetings from Montgomery Texas. I grow many things and i have been told i have a green thumb but i' m new to bananas. I just wanted to say thanks to all for the good information. i am learning so much and every one is so helpful and i need all the help i can get lol.

i am an insurance broker by day specializing in final expense/life insurance. I put over 200 miles on my car a day driving to clients homes and coordinating their benefits. So with that being said i see a lot of bananas!!!

i currently grow: new for 2016

grand nain
blue java
little prince
super dwarf
double mahio

and my mystery plants that you guys have identified as orinoco maybe dwarfs?

thanks to all and happy planting,

Darla

Hi Darla-

Welcome to the Banana Express. :nanerwaveytrain:

Glad you were able to weather the insurance crunch. I had my licenses in Life, Health and Accident, but all that Hope 'N Change put me out of business. :2723:

Sorry to here about that, times are tough all over, my background is in Medicare however just in the last few years I've heard specializing in the life and the things and I've been licensed now doing insurance for 18 years so it's working for me.

My plants are my therapy lol!

I sold AGLA for a while and that stuff is good! It has living benefits, so you can use your own life insurance before you die. Have you dealt with them at all?

I hear ya on the plants too! My cats and redwoods keep me sane. Well, at least partially...

I get ya Doug, I have heard AGLA but never dI'd business for them. I am a mgr for SLS and broker several companies with them. I love it.

My plants are my therapy and I do rescue as well and have 7 dogs and one crazy Bengal cat!
Got to love the fur babies!
