Greetings Everyone!
 

Hello, My name is Bill. I live in Apopka, Florida (Zone 9b) and would like to grow some bananas here.

I currently have a variety called "Ice Cream" and a plantain type variety that a friend gave me. She couldn't remember the name though. Neither have fruited for me, which is frustrating.

I'm looking to obtain some dwarf/semi-dwarf varieties that have good leaf wind resistance and will produce fruit.

If anyone has any recommendations or plants available for purchase, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you! Craigslist is an excellent suggestion. I hadn't even thought of checking Craigslist for plants. I've been checking the local big stores but I think they're overpriced and have a very limited selection. Never hurts to keep checking though, might just find a gem.
