Default Hello
Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm a professional hoticulturist and have been growing bananas for several years. Hopefully I can help out some when I have time, I own a tropical wholesale nursery and hydroponics business that keeps me jumping.

I have no website, my business is largely contract to some of the more well known growers. I grow out a lot of their plants plus do special orders on specialty plants for then as well as testing. I also sell to firms that lease plants to home owners or businesses that want flowering plants year round. These companies rotate them so the lessor has something blooming all the time, most these are orchids. Currently things are hectic due to the upcoming spring season. Sorry no photos, I think some of the companies might get angry with me if I should their upcoming line of plants.

Cool! I have a friend here in San Diego that does that as well. Hopefully the business climate in your area is better than ours at the moment.
