To see a banana or citrus at any big box store here would be like a miracle! Only thing on sale here are mums - & lots of them.
I did see a 3-4 ft 15 gal orange tree once 4-5 yrs ago at a big private owned nursery & it was about $70.00

Cold Re: It's Fall Sale Time! What's On Sale Where You Live?

The Lowes here..didn't even carry the Bananas this year...just a couple of palms...which were way over priced!

Frost advisory here again last night...but it only dropped down to 43 degrees at my location...its suppose to frost again Friday morning and Saturday morning....boy its been a weird year!

The trees are turning orange and yellow....and my Basjoos are still pushing out leaves!

OMG YES...I completely agree! We don't have any bananas or tropicals sold at Homo Depot or Blowes here (take no offense, that's just what I always call those stores by...no disrespect intended, trust me). They don't even sell any palms beyond the few they have in their indoor houseplant section.
