Texas Gulf Coaster in da House
Hey folks glad to join the neighborhood. I am in the Houston area zone 9a. I've always had banana plants however I've always been ignorant to a majority of the information that would have made me even more successful. Considering my passion for growing things I'm surprised I didn't get into them sooner. Currently I've got this 6x4 bed built that has some great bed mix and leaf mold compost. I bought from a well known nursery in the area for having unique things and this was labeled Ice Cream. So who knows. This bed has been planted almost a year and up until the other day I was ignorant to the types of suckers so I am not sure if it is to late to cull out the water ones or not or which ones at this point. I've got lots of questions and I am looking forward to learning and getting to know some of the fine folks here.

Re: Texas Gulf Coaster in da House
Right on, just from browsing I'm finding out pictures aren't the easiest to upload at least from a phone. Gimme some time and I'll get the hang of it. Any specific lingo that's good to know i.e. mats, choking.

Re: Texas Gulf Coaster in da House
Welcome! I'm just a little south of you in League City. I had a similar experience - ordered a couple "Ice Cream" bananas from an online nursery that turned out to be Gran Nains, then got a couple of confirmed "real deal" Blue Javas from hdynad a couple months later.
