My only complaint with Baker Creek is that you don't know what you are going to get. But maybe that's like Mr. Gump says about a box of chocolates! They helped me to quickly build up the types of bananas I have without spending a lot of money. The Dw. Orinoco I got from them is making bananas right now at home (8B)! 1,000 fingers I got from them is at our place in Sargent Tx 9B and is looking very good.

It's okay if you just want to call your plants Banana Plants. I purchased lots of cheap plants from Florida Hills. Great price but not what I ordered. You will really not know what Type of Banana Plant you have received until it blooms which for my plants has taken years. I have a Not Praying Hands, a Not Red Kru, Not Sumatrana X Gran Nain, and a lot of other Banana Plants that haven't bloomed.

Good Luck Susan

glad your nanners are doing good, this is a wonderful sight isn't it? you know baker creek is not the place to buy from if your one of the older or more experienced members with target bananas. and lets face it tc's from most other places in themselves are a gamble but for people with a moderate or low income and maybe no experience it is a good purchase. or for a person with a lot of property to plant and a newer member [I would fit that description], a role of the dice is a lot of fun. I have 30 in the ground am planting today more coming in and it is just starting to look like what I want. probably another 20 to 30 plants should round me out. and I own another place just like it. and being retired with a lot of time it is a no brainer I am having a BLAST. the iholenas were what I was interested in and they are probably not what I got, but if they are where in 7734 can you get one at that price. the iholenes are pricy and availability is limited as with other varieties.

yes at the price of 10 to 15 dollars a corm tc's are probably and are a poor investment, especially for you older members. but for people with tight income and limited experience and more than likely no idea what they would want, tc's they can be beneficial. and corms are really fun to watch grow but one from a seed or a tc are lots of fun to.

I'm hoping the dwarf iholena are correct! Pictures are looking very promising. If not 100% it's a simular type! Y'all may have gotten lucky on this one. After tasting Tigua, I'm trying to round up every iholena I can find! Haha. Please keep updating this post with your dwarf iholena pics!

I figured to update this. my namwas are fast growers but the iholeneres a growing faster than the namwa. namwa is in the front. they look almost the same but the iholenas have leaves that come more to a point, less rounded.
