Banana Seller/Shipper Reliability question
I have been reading and reading (what a fantastic source this is here) and have decided that Dwarf Namwahs are what I would like to get (and chomped at the bit more after seeing Sunfish's glorious pics of them).
I will be pulling up my Orinocos (still have another huge bunch of them at the back of our property) and I want to replace them with the Dwarf Namwah. The possible quagmire I am concerned about is getting a real Dwarf Namwah. I want to get it right the first time... I have read so much about folks being duped. I will be posting (I guess) in the "Bananas Wanted" section herein. I have read the "Bananas for Sale/Auction section"- saw none listed. Have even searched "Dwarf Namwah", lots of FABULOUS info. and beautiful pics, but did not garner info. on a reliable source. Is there someone out there that knows of a reliable source? ...and/or can someone attest to the "http://www.going-bananas.com/" site and solks out of Homestead Florida? ....as I REALLY would like to get a nice Dwarf Namwah... the first time out of the chute on these puppies. |

Encanto Farms (AKA We Be Bananas, AKA Pitangadiego, AKA Jon) has the real deal for sure. That's who I got mine from.
I'm sure there are other sources. It's a hard one to mess up the ID of. Maybe the "stockiest" variety you will ever see. |

If you were in FL, I could give you a real large size corm.

I have had excellent results with plants purchased from Going Bananas. I purchased from their website when I moved to the Keys ~7 years ago and now when they visit plant sales in Key West or Marathon. :bananas_b |

Going Bananas of Homestead (Don) is quite reliable and stands by his sales.

Yes, one bunch per p-stem, multiple p-stems per mat, which is all a single plant. |

Re: Banana Seller/Shipper Reliability question
88 is great for the shape that I received the mother plant. Then it lived indoors for a whole year in decent light. Last year was its second year in the ground and last year was when I finally found some awesome local fert to use. Made a night an day difference in all my plants.
