From searching the wiki and forum I gather that Dwarf Red and Dwarf (Red) Green are basically the same plant, but I just love the contrast between the red pstem and green leaves, so I'd like to try my hand at one.

And before I spend 60$ on the only other website that says they sell the red that isn't floridahill or overseas and makes me have to buy 2 other plants to ship, I thought I'd try asking here!

Thank you for your time!

Im looking for 1 also. Floridahills are out of stock on reds as is almost every other site I found. Unless you want to spend $69.00. I just got from Floridahills
"Dwarf Namwa" Banana Tree
"Veinte Cohol" Musa Banana Tree
"Dwarf Cavendish" Musa Banana Tree

I spent hours looking for websites that might have one instock and the only other place I found was this one: rareplantresearch.com/musa-dwarf-red.html
But no idea if they're any good and didn't want to bank so much to find out, even if I would have gotten 2 cacti also. Especially the site uses that same stock photo of the red I found everywhere.

If Going Bananas wasn't so far into Florida I would have drove down for one, they were my top pick.

I just got one from smeash and its doing nicely.

Homestead is the end of mainland Fla, except for everglade nat park and the keys. All the way down. I lived there in the 70's
