St Augustine bananas
Banana Gallery - AuntBananas
These are at my aunt's house, right on the Intercoastal Waterway. She said they produce a fruit that is just a little smaller than "grocery store" bananas(cavandish), and they "taste good". Is there any way to know what type they are? She told me I can have some/all of these, I just need to dig them up and take them away! (I hope I put the right link to my member gallery) |

Re: St Augustine bananas
That reply calls for a banana smiley! So I should just dig them up, with as much dirt and root as possible? Will it be a issue if I plant them in full sun, since they're coming from HEAVY shade? Or will they just be very happy? And what size root ball should I expect to find? 5 gallon bucket size? Larger? I'm very excited, since I expected to see 3 foot tall bananas, and these are HUGE. I may have to transplant a couple at a time. Thank you thank you 2woodensticks! |

Re: St Augustine bananas
I agree with the fellas, orinoco perhaps .
Great beginner plant ,very forgiving and takes alot of abuse and keeps coming back. These are one of my faves to overwinter in my basement in Ohio. This is a very durable banana. Go dig and have fun with it. |

Re: St Augustine bananas
"Very forgiving" is exactly what I need. I was assuming they were pretty tough since she never does anything for them there, and they are still alive. Plus, these have been there for well over 15 years from what she said. AND it floods on a regular basis, with saltwater right out of the Intercoastal, which is literally right behind these. You can see the water behind them in the picture. So if they've survived neglect, winters, and seawater flooding, they MUST be too tough for me to kill.
