Contact Pitangadiego and Sunfish here, both from San Diego. You'll get large plants at good prices. It's worth the drive.

I don't think Richard has banana plants for sale now, btw.

Also, there's a "wanted section" here on bananas.org where you can post what you're looking for and other members can respond. If you can figure out what type of plants you want, that may be the best way to get the best actual plants, since members often send enormous corms that can establish new mats in short order.

Check your local Craigslist. You should be able to get large pups for $10 or less

OP,

Pitangadiego, who operates Encanto Farms/WeBeBananas listed above, provides a list of his banana selection here (along with his contact email).

Not TyTy, Aaronsfarm or Willis Orchards.

Santa Rosa Gardens has great quality and once a year puts on a great sale. I have several bananas and other plants from them...

eBAY is also an option, sometimes worth checking.

Re: Best online sites to buy banana trees/plants?
 

Thanks everyone, I will look into all those options.

If you want to drive to Sherman Oaks, I have some free bananas that you can have.

No doubt, but unless your in zone 9 & higher I'd stay away from such activity in late fall & winter.
