The Rose is very nice in my opinion. Very beautiful banana with the red blush on the pstem, and long, narrow leaves. It makes a nice sweet banana with floral notes if grown properly. The Black Thai is grown in a semi shaded area under live oaks. Its one of several I am growing, but this one grew the largest. It really is much bigger than it looks in the picture. Thank you for all the nice comments about it. |

![]() Thank you. None of mine have flowered yet, but the one pictured has to be close. I am looking forward to it, and hope to get some seeds as well.

![]() It's running out of warmth, maybe 6 more weeks of growth. Hoping it's established enough to make it through the winter

Would love to see a pic of you next to the plant for some perspective ![]() [quote] None of mine have flowered yet, but the one pictured has to be close. I am looking forward to it, and hope to get some seeds as well.[QUOTE/] No pressure here at all and I really don't want to be presumptuous, but if you happen to get seeds, and enough that you are willing to part with some, I would really love to buy a few from you, seeing as how its so difficult to get most varieties up here. I don't know if they would grow true, but I am certainly willing to give it a try. Usually fine to send seeds to Canada without all the hassle, unlike plant material. ![]() not sure why the quotes didn't format correctly, I actually did capitalize the leading [quote] but for some reason it shows up as lower case

![]() Here is my Thai Black now
It's a little over 6 ft tall and still growing strong. However, It's still green... (except the petioles) It definitely has the Thai Black 'leaf curl' so I wonder what gives Maybe the pups will come out black but who knows if it'll pup this year considering it'll start cooling down here in a month. ![]()
