Need Raja Puri
 

Been quite a while since I was one here. I remember when we started it.
I just moved and left my banana plant collection. I have limited space now so I'm looking for a few proven varieties that I have always liked.
Looking for a Raja Puri plant (please NO "I think it is a Raja Puri")
Also a Dwarf Cav or something similar that has large dark green leaves and is a good bearer.
I'm in SW FL.
Thanks email me at tlturbo@aol.com

Pinders nursery in up the street in Palm city had some a few weeks ago.
Dwarf Cavendish is at your local Home Depot or Lowes as well as Walmart.

Fast check shows many decent nurseries in your area.....Smartyplants sounds decent:)

This forum member sells them also

Thanks but Plant City is on the East Coast and I'm in the Cape Coral area on the West Coast.

I have the true raja puri that is flowering now but no pups. Check with Ty (Tytaylor77) I got mine from him. He is a one stop shop for sure with I think over two hundred confirmed varieties.

WOW, NO response on a plant. Used to be in a day or two several people would offer up a plant. I even tried to contact the sources mentioned. No replies. No one has a Raja Puri pup?

Terry,

I should eventually have some pups available from a true raja puri as soon as the bunch fills (three-four months? Never filled a raja purity bunch before). I also think twotallgirls has the true one. But if you haven't found one by the time I have them available i would be happy to send one.

Pinders nursery up the street in Palm City has them.

Could be the time of year. Unless you have zero worries about even light freezes, I don't think many want to take a chance and weaken the plant by taking a pup. Maybe spring time will be better.
Hope you find one, and good luck.

Give me a message... I have a RP pup I can part with (and dwarf cavendish if you like too).

twotallgirls - send you a PM

Hey -- not to piggyback on this threat but I saw the OP was able to find one and it seemed silly to open a new thread on this same topic (I did make one earlier but definitely in the wrong sub).

Anyways -- I'm also looking for a raja puri. I know the timing might not be perfect but if anyone is willing to part with a future pup please let me know !

Thanks !
