Default New to bananas/Growing in South Texas


Hello All,

I have taken over the family palm tree farm in the Rio Grande Valley, located in the southernmost tip of Texas, and plan to switch the operation over to bananas. I could use a lot of advice and information, but have not figured out how to post a thread yet. Any instructions as to how to post a thread would be greatly appreciated!

Lozano, right by you. I'm letting the palms go super cheap if you would like some palms.

Hey Sal, thanks for the welcome. Would you happen to know a good source for tissue culture? If you would like any palm trees, I'm letting mine go beneath wholesale price.

Agristarts is one company that does tc. Just watch out for some varieties. People will chime in on mislabeled plants

Thanks for the welcome! I have messaged Nicolas and I'm awaiting his reply. Would you happen to know of a good source for tissue culture?

Thanks, I have found Agristarts. Their availability isn't the greatest right now. How many bananas are you growing?
