Default Looking for varieties in Chicago!

Hello! Just getting into this and looking to find some different varieties of bananas in Chicago and having a hard time. Any advice where I might be able to get my hands on some non-cavendish? Gros Michel in particular!

Thanks!

I think he's talking about fruit, rather than plants.

Well, if it's the case, I have no idea! I would recommend ethnic markets or stores...

This company is in business and based near Chicago, but not yet selling fruit retail in the US, however they will soon. I suggest you contact them and see if they could let you know when fruit would be available.
