I spoke with Doug Richardson this evening and he said he is working on some exciting things like starting a banana farm again. He said it is o.k. for me to give out his contact information. He is selling really nice plants at great prices. If you do contact him please tell him I gave you his info. (There is nothing in it for me.)
Here it is: Work # (805) 566-4949
Cell # (805) 886-6759

Harvey has attached the last post. He is a very knoweldgeable well known banana figure in southern California. Can I say banana figure? It sounds weird. Anyhow, he has great healthy plants at awesome prices.

Andrew, I figured I would drop by and visit your garden but hadn't decided if I was going to let you know when that was going to take place! ;)

Just joking! :D

I have no immediate plans, though.

No, not unless something has changed recently. I talked to him a couple of times a couple of years ago and it sounded like any bananas he still had were in disarray. He said he could probably find some varieties I'd asked him about in his collection, but after calling and leaving messages a few times that he didn't return, I got the impression that it wasn't a priority for him. He was a nice guy to talk to, though.
