Default New Goldfinger from Going Bananas

Got my first Goldfinger from Going Bananas to try here in South Ga. Nice looking plant. Nice people there.

It is so hot here I put a piece of aluminum screen over it I had left from another project. Knocked down the light level I would say by 30%.

As for size. The top picture shows a large leaf coming off to the right. That leaf is about a foot long. The color is approaching dark green. It is no doubt larger than say FloridaHills when I got them a month. It is somewhat larger than they are now after a months worth of in ground growing. I will post back in a month to compare the two.

Would I recommend Going Bananas? Yes I would.

Not all plants shipped are that small.. but you do get quality and that's what matters when I order something. I think they bend backwards to make a sale happy about their purchase, and thats the bonus plan to me.. :^)

Abnshrek, I see we are in the same zone 8b. How did your winterizing bananas work this year? This coming year will be my first year with bananas.
