Since we're heading into fall I figured this would be a good time to start looking for small bananas to over winter and then put out in the spring.
Currently I only have the following and would like to expand to other types:
Basjoo (two dozen of these)
Velutina
Dwarf Cav (and possibly two Super Dwarfs, I honestly can't tell)
I've been looking and am interested in the Ornata and Musa 'Praying Hands' - I can over winter anything that's not hardy indoors (I heat my garage and use two 1000W halides all winter).
But I'm especially interested in larger bananas and nice foliage. Fruit isn't my main concern, though I certainly wouldn't mind it. I'm also not a huge fan of anything variegated in bananas or red leaves.
Can you all offer some suggestions?
Thanks,
John
