Hello from NE Florida
Hi all,
Thought I'd pop in here to learn a little more about bananas. I've been playing with them in the yard for a few years. Had one flower in September, which was SUPER amazing to watch that unfold literally daily, but it happened a bit late to actually eat the fruits. Frost got it while I was on vacation. But I was hooked at that point. Thus far, I have fertilized only by planting bananas around a compost pit (I first learned it as a 'banana circle') but I'm contemplating applying fertilizer this year to see if it makes a difference. I hope this find you all well! Brian |

Re: Hello from NE Florida
Welcome! I started my first bananas from tissue culture plants last spring. I'm hoping to *maybe* get some fruit this year.

I've also tried dwarf Cavendish, double mahoi, thousand finger, but found at random in my travels, without researching. They seem to take big hits in the winter and spend the rest of the summer recovering back to where they were. I may bail on those. |

Re: Hello from NE Florida
Another neighbor! Sweet! I've purchased namwahs that were advertised as from tissue culture, but I confess I don't really know much about that. Is there any benefit to doing it that way vs. getting one that started life as a water/sword sucker?

If you ever have any blue java suckers to trade/sell, let me know. I've been looking for those online, but haven't found anyone with them in stock yet. Haven't heard of iholena, I'll look that up. |

Sorry. I misread your previous comment. I thought we were only talking TC's only. I did order two Dw Nmwahs and a Goldfinger from you last year. So, now I know that those plants (and the plants I got from Ty) are accurate. I am currently on another persons list for a Blue Java for this season. But, I'll contact you if that falls through. |
