When is a good time to plant?
I am planning on buying another banana. I it will most likely be pretty good size (maybe 5 gallon) so not from seeds or anything. I'm close to the beach on Southern California with very mild temps. Could I plant now? Does it matter?
Richard recomended... Dwarf Brazilian Dwarf Namwa Sweetheart and I looked them up and they all look wonderful. I have a tiny yard so I would want a dwarf or a small variety. I actually think I will get two now because...well because I am obsessed now like all of you.  hee hee I have a side yard that is pretty shady but I could plant a few of them there. How much sun do I have to give them? Jen |

We're not obsessed...we're passionate!!! OK, and obsessed. Just a little, though.

Re: When is a good time to plant?
Go for it. You have 2-4 months of good warm weather yet.

Re: When is a good time to plant?
Jen, you're in zone 10 - you can plant almost anything you want, nearly anytime you wish. I am in a desert, but learned that winters here are not really "desert-like" in fact, sometimes they get snow! Oh well, beats Chicago's climate.

Re: When is a good time to plant?
Oh I like that Passionate.
That sounds much better.Thanks for the info I'm excited that I can plant now. I'm going banana shopping this weekend. Richard, you are a mind reader. Thank goodness you gave me permissoin Richard, now I won't feel guilty. Our houses are pretty close together here so it would be sandwiched between my two story and the house next door which is also a two story. I don't think it gets 8 hours. I better scrap that plan and stick with the back yard. I am still going to be a freak and check it all day long just in case. I want more banana planting space!Thanks for all the feedback. I can't wait to plant. Jen |
