Re: Jack of all trades
Welcome to the Banana Bunch. What is a Darjeeling? A town or tea.

Re: Jack of all trades
My 1st search didn't turn up any thing as a banana. ... But the proper name is Musa sikkimensis. It is very cold hardy and a seeded banana. You can read about it of the forum wiki. Musa Sikkimensis (red tiger,manipur etc) - Bananas Wiki

Re: Jack of all trades
Thanks a lot! Can't do anything until frost is out of ground. About a month from now. Will give your recommendations a try. Very grateful! If you think of anything else please let me know. This is all totally new to me & I'm sure the neighbors will know I've finally lost it. But, hey, they probably thought that already!
