I have a few Thousand finger suckers if anyone is interested.
They are nice tasty little tiny bananas. You harvest a few at a time and let the bunch just keep producing. I let the bunch grow to around 3-5 feet then cut the bell off so that they fill out nicely.
Cold Tolerant variety; good right down to 32 and will survive down to 28.
gets around 9-12 feet

message me an email address and I'll send you an invoice through paypal.
Thank you.
$34 shipped

Great for fruit in the true tropics, otherwise an ornamental (novelty) plant.

Not cold tolerant below USDA zone 9b in my experience.

Well I'm not in the true tropics and it fruits just fine for me.
And short of them being seeded and inedible, dozens of a 2 inch little banana
Taste just as good as a 6 inch one. So to label them as a novelty and dismiss
Them is just you posting on a thread adding nothing to it.
And like I said, they are good right down to freezing, and the stalks survive fairly
Well. They pick up with warm spells.

Fruit time is around a year, and it'll be shorter with a mature clump.
