Not AeAe, but basjoo with variegation. Send me a PM with details please. I plan on planting outside, then potting up for indoors in winter.
Thanks....Howard

Thank you, Howard.

A local supermarket sold large mixed pots with annuals and exactly such a banana as centre piece for $50 ea.
I wondered if half of the people who bought these arrangements even knew, that they were getting a banana.

I also wondered if the bananas would be hardy enough to survive here. The fact that they are just another
cultivar of the Basjoo answers that concern.

Best,
Olaf
