FaceBook Group Planet Musa
Hi! I have only been growing nanas for 3 years and the addiction has grown even more after using the FaceBook group called Planet Musa. There are some experts, and novices, just like this on this site. I feel it is a chance for both this community and the Facebook group to grow! To spread knowledge and share the same loves. I couldn't find a Thai Black anywhere on here or any sites but I got one from Planet Musa for about $40 from one of the members. It's already showing signs of black pseudo, so I feel like some of the members are legit there. Others just post about new leaves looking funky, but that's what bananas.org is about! As well as selling/trading. I was more than happy buying the banana from the social media source. Just hoping to spread this for anyone looking for another group to appreciate nanas. I have also been spreading the knowledge about bananas.org to them as well.

Re: FaceBook Group Planet Musa
I also belong to the planet musa group. That group is the only reason I still use the FB website. (haha)
I enjoy the pictures as well as short videos they can post. The only down side I see is that posts get lost easily as new posts show up. This .org forum is well organized and archived. I haven't bought from the FB members but good to know that you had success. Erik |

I never had any personal motive. I just wanted to units Facebook Members with Bananas.org. And it looks like it has been working. I am very proud I made this post. Without breaking any guidelines, I have connected some people to both worlds; different sides of the same coin(s). I send members there, and vice versa. Nick

Re: FaceBook Group Planet Musa
I’m glad to hear that Planet Musa is a good place to join. I was invited to join that group by a seller on ebay. However, I am not on Facebook right now. Thanks for the info though!

Re: FaceBook Group Planet Musa
Thank you for the recommendations and comments. It does make sense that activity on this forum would be slower this time of year.
Wstrickland1, I am glad to hear the Rose is doing well. She will be a beaut come springtime. We have had such mild weather, I am able to leave out Red Kru, which is very cold sensitive. Everything is still growing, and my Saba just put out a flower.. I hope the bananas taste good.. Last edited by AaronTT : 01-12-2022 at 09:25 PM. |

Re: FaceBook Group Planet Musa
I tried to join. I found a Planet Banana-Musa. Is that the one? Interesting that they state no buy, trade, selling of bananas.

Re: FaceBook Group Planet Musa
Can I join now? It would be cool if you shared the name of the group. You are absolutely right, social networks are very helpful in spreading something, and it is a great platform for business. I also use social networks, especially Instagram, to grow my business and attract clients. So I release my own line of swimwear. Of course, things didn't go very well at the beginning, and I decided that I needed to use Instagram. So, I started posting everything on Instagram, making interesting content. Of course, it was not without the support of 1394TA. So my business became popular, and things went uphill. So don't underestimate social media.
