Have any of you bought any banana plants from Tytaylor77, and they turned out to be what he said? Recently some space opened up in my yard, and since I want several varieties, and he has all the varieties I want, it would be easier to just buy all of them from him, instead of buying one from one person one from another etc. what I don't want is to buy banana plants that aren't what they were labeled. Any comments from you (or Tytaylor77) would be helpful! Thanks! :woohoonaner::08::0517::woohoonaner::08::0517::woohoonaner::08:: 0517::woohoonaner::08:

Shipped a couple of banana up here to Michigan without any problems. Seems really nice, I bought mine on ebay.

I've received a couple plants from Ty and they are thriving in my patch. I've never heard a negative thing about Ty on this blog and pretty sure he's supplied a lot of banana plants to people.

Its pretty hard to kill a strong banana plant. I've got pups that I pulled out of my patch in early spring thriving on the compost pile. Just need a good corm with some good roots.

Check with Ty on price for the varieties you are interested. Price depends on demand and supply of the product. In the Fall, I'm thinking supply is high and demand is low and in the Spring its the reverse.

Good luck.

Ty is the guy to buy from. Received plants from him a last two years ago and they arrived in perfect shape (shipped to PA). He knows his bananas!

Update:

the plants are all growing great!!!! (except the 1000 finger, which came with a TINY corm, my only complaint) I would DEFINITELY recommend getting plants from Ty. Here are the update pics:

Looking awesome! Your taking great care of them! Keep it up. Wait till spring. They will really take off!! Be sure to try and disturb the root ball as little as possible while transplanting to the ground. I love seeing updates of plants I send. It feels like they are still my “kids” or something hahaha.

Joe,





They are looking beautiful!....Awesome job man!....Just a couple of good advices, suggestions buddy!.....Make sure you give plenty of space to FHIA-3 Sweetheart when you transplant her to the ground!...Sweetheart is a monster grower!...….Also, strategically transplant Pisang Ceylon to the ground!....In a well protected area or behind other much stronger Nana Varieties, avoiding high winds!....Trust me on this!....

you could......seems like march sometimes throws 1 more in the last couple of days.

if you do and if their small enough keep some garbage cans handy. works great on small plants.

How were you able to contact Ty? I have messaged him on his website and threw ebay and haven't heard back from him. I wonder if he is still selling plants. Your plants look great Joe. Congrats

Hello sddarkman, I already spoke to you on ebay. I am looking for a couple of Pitogos, but will buy a couple of others also. I have a local seller for most of the others I just cannot find anyone to sell me the Pitogos. I found them here in Florida but they are to far to go and pick up and they will not ship.
