Hello - I am new to the site. I came to love bananas after buying a house where the tenant had planted several.
I currently live in Solvang, near Santa AZ barbara CA. We experience light frost every few years and so am looking to try grow bananas varietals which will survive here. We have a couple of lemon trees which do. well, so am hoping to bananas will also.

I'm looking online to buy a few as I have not seen any in local stores. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Welcome. You should have no trouble growing a few varieties. You may want to put an ad in the bananas wanted forum to see if some nearby neighbors have any to trade or sell.

Solvang is an interesting town. I love the outward appearance of the Swedish architecture, but I just somehow, couldn't accept all those Mexicans wearing leiderhosen. It just didn't look right. :eek:

Welcome aboard the Banana Express, BTW.

PS- Is that emu ranch still there on the right-hand side of the road, coming in from PCH? It's been a while since I've been there.
