Default Wanted: Saba Pup
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a healthy Saba pup, in the 2'-3' size range, that can be shipped to New Jersey. I'm happy to pay all shipping costs, plus the price of the plant. I would need to receive it in April or early May.

Please let me know if you can help!

Thanks!

~Joe

Joe,
Contact Chris (aka: Rmplmnz) from Tampa. I just got an email that he has lots of Sabá pups and he is thinning them out. Here's a thread about his "plantation". I'll let him know that you are looking for some.

Thanks guys, as the weather gets warmer I'll be in touch... it's currently just 7 degrees at my house, I'm shivering just thinking about it!

Looking forward to growing some monster Saba's this year!

You mean like this? Just right-click and copy the url of the smaller photo from your gallery. Then paste it on the "Insert Image" icon's window.

Gee, I thought you said that the Sabá only grew to 12' or so. The one with the fruit looks more like 20' to me.

I love that last picture - I've seen it before and it's the main reason I want to try and grow a Saba!

Fantastic!

Joe what's wrong with people like you who know they don't live in the right region to grow plants like this?

I'd love to try and grow this plant also!


My wife already thinks I'm crazy so why not try to grow another banana!

lol..12' feet in the red dirt of Hawaii....20' feet plus in Tampa...they love that deep rich "well drained" (sandy layer) soil....organic, good climate and drainage...

I just measured the diameter of the biggest one I currently (which has not fruited yet)..56 inches..and I am guessing over 22' tall (did not try and measure this..lol)...I will post pics of it later....and take some pics in June/July when I cut it down....

I wonder what the composition is of that "red dirt" in HI? I have a good source for (red)pumice here in Seattle, and I wonder if they're the same.

56 inches is the circumference, i hope. The width of your shoulders appear to be wider than the trunk of any of the plants. 56" circ. would be equal to 17.8" in diameter, which would be more proportional to your figure. Very impressive, nevertheless! (The trunk, not your figure-LOL)

Lol, thats half the fun. Bananas are rare enough in NJ to begin with, so I might as well try something huge, thats absolutely not supposed to grow here! It'll never get as big as they come in the tropics and subtropics, but it will most likely dwarf my basjoos in one season!
