Re: banana comparison

I haven't found much online from any source. Usually there is a single primary source and whatever that one person wrote about a particular variety is just repeated by 100 web-sites word for word and...

Cold Warning

A beautiful plant, but not seemingly as fast growing as others and very little cold tolerance. This plant will die in 40 degree weather, whereas most bananas need below freezing (32) to react. It...
