I think spell check did that :) lets just say that

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I lay claim to 28 different varieties, and 31 containers with musa and ensete. I also have bird of paradise, heliconia, cannas, and gingers in the related category. I would have more if some of the seeds I tried to sprout would happen, but you know how that is.

Did you mean species or cultivars?

Regardless, Pitangadiego has us all beat, and then he'll probably tell us his collection is minor in comparison to his buddy in Ventura county ...

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I have 5 types only; I'll probably end up with another 5 or 6 but, after my fig collecting manic days, I'm done competing for titles.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I'm currently at 20 cultivars here in Kansas, probably 50-80 p-stems if I count only solitary plants and pups over 3'.

Little Prince
Truly Tiny
SDC
DC
Double* [suspicious that it might be a Dwarf Namwah]
Grand Nain
Williams Hybrid

Highgate
Cocos
Gros Michel

Dwarf Red
Dwarf Orinoco
California Gold
Dwarf Brazilian
Dwarf Namwah
Fake Ice Cream (a tallish Namwah)
Kluay Kai/Glui Kai (or some such spelling)
Raja Puri
Pisang Ceylon
SH-3640

DC, Williams Hybrid, and Double* are currently fruiting. Most of the others will probably start producing fruit next year.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I am the only one growing bananas in my basement, therefore I win in my very localized region.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

Actually most of my bananas are currently growing in my basement. I only have about 6 plants upstairs, including two 8 ft ones that wouldn't fit in the basement.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I can probably claim my neighborhood but thats about it. I only have 6 DC's and a couple mats of Basjoo. I need to expand my varieties.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I only have one kind 12 plants out side but am looking for more Seattle, WA.

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

Great job everyone, but how many bunches of bananas are on the plants.

I have 4 bunches of Namva's 1 bunch is in a container. I have 5 bunches of Ice-Cream, and 7 bunches of Dwarf Cavendish and unknown tall banana plant.

I hope California stays warm a few more months. :goteam: 16 bunches of bananas

Re: who has the most banananas in your region?
 

I am adding two new plants so now I will have 14 plants two variety's. going up in the banana world.
