My Florida Variegated
So i decided to grab a Florida variegated off of Etsy. Its a pup cut from the mom had decent roots and good chunk of corm. I potted it with kellog palm citrus and catus mix, which i use to amend my soil for my other bananas i plant in the ground. Put it in a spot where it will get mostly shade for now. Haven’t decided if I’m planting in ground come sept or waiting till spring.

Next time you want a banana plant you should consider getting it from a local member. Indonesia, Hawaii and other area outside the western hemisphere have nasty banana viruses. Plus local shipping is much cheaper. I don't know what members current prices are but the variegated florida and a'ea'e were recently $5 each.

Re: My Florida Variegated

When I was selling the variegated florida and a'ea'e here I was charging $15 each but when the prices dropped to $5 I had to switched from retail to wholesale. My farm is too far from a post office to be able to make a profit doing small orders. I always thought members deserved lower prices so I was very happy when the prices dropped. This was the first year I saw TC cultivars for sale at the american box stores for $9.99. I doubt they'll ever try doing that again lmao. The sales tax alone would be $1.15 on each plant. People could just stop at a local farm and get pups for $0.25 tax free. From my driveway to the end of the street I pass by more than 50 different cultivars just growing wild by the side of the road.

Re: My Florida Variegated
Do you really think the US inspection officer would know the difference between those two plants.
