Got my Ae Ae - Am I done now?

plundccre · 08-01-2011, 07:36 PM

I just picked up a good looking 4' Ae Ae today from BadPun. Provided it survives, I may be done buying bananas. I'm up to 27 different varieties now and a lot of them are starting to look basically the same. I think that I have all of the major differences in size, color, banana shape, etc. covered and my yard it really taking on a jungle look I was going for.

Well,....maybe I still need a Vente Cohol.

Here is a shot of the pool though no bananas are in the frame.

Beautiful shot, and gorgeous landscaping, Peter. How about some more?

Beautiful pool! To be honest, thats kind of like my ideal pool, beautiful tropical landscaping, a nice fountain, really natural looking (don't think I didn't see that blooming plumeria!). I think if your going to end buying bananas, Ae Ae's are a great one to end it with! I hope it does well for you! I always wanted one, but I would rather just wait until I move to the tropics! Maybe they will be cheaper by then anyways!

Nice yard! I would love to see more pics!

Are you done? I doubt it! Just look at Jon (pitangadiego) -- with about a hundred varieties and you'd swear nowhere to put anything new, he still manages to plant new varieties by replacing ones he already had that didn't work out. It's an addiction!

I haven't hit that plateau yet.

Hey, your yard looks awesome and the Ae Ae is one that I had once but haven't managed to get another one. Have you seen anywhere that sells the Vente Cohol? I was just reading about it.

Going Bananas and Logee's both sell Veinte Cohol. But I think the consensus so far among people who've bought them is that it hasn't lived up to the hype. It is apparently not cold tolerant, not a real fast grower, and makes very small bunches of so-so fruit. But give it a try and let us know what you find.

I messaged Going Bananas and they're out maybe I'll check out Logees, but don't want to spend too much on it if its not going to live up to the hype LOL!

If you can stop at 27, you were never really in the game - just pretending.

I had at least 65 different varieties at one time.Not even sure what I have anymore.
