African Member greeting all
 

HI FELLOW BANANA LOVERS,
I am a lover of bananas, & own quite a few farms of common & esqusite species. Banans have made my fortune & i love sharing them & about them with anybody interested. I am located in Cameroon, equatorial Africa, at the foot of the mount Cameroon. I have three different climatic zones within 10kms, from hot at the base of the mountain to chilly about 2000m up the mountain to accomdate my various species, & i exploit it to a maximum, thus species that can only thrive in very cold places still do well in my hands.
Hope my introduction have not been too long, Hope to learn & share a lot in this forum.

Welcome. I'm also new in the forum, also new a banana growing. Hopefully we will all learn from each other. What kind of bananas do you have? Africa should have a great climiate for growing bananas. You seem to be in a good area. How is your soil. The soil here, I live in Florida, is very sandy. Dorothy

Thanks a bunch friends.
I feel most welcomed to this forum. As for the banana species i grow, they include lady finger, orinoco,up on the cold mountain,ice cream,gros michel for commercial purposes, and cavendish. The soil around here is volcanic ash, phonolites & basalts, And they have proved real good to my bananas.

That is very interesting, do you have any problems with deseases and do
you know what the Ph is of that volcanic soil.
