Re: Newbie to the forum
Hydroid - thanks for the tip - I know Gulf shores well - grew up in P'cola and spent lots of time on Perdido Bay and Orange Beach. - Still have family in Lillian and Foley
Darkman from P'Cola has been very helpful also.
I was leaning toward full size - for no particular reason except they are bigger - you're point about winterizing (have to study up on that) and early production is a good one. Most important, I want to be able to eat home grown bananas.
So far members have suggested Dwarf Orinoco, Double-Maohi?, and Goldfinger -I'll now be looking up Raja Puri & Dwarf Cavendish also.
Still debating at this point about what I want to try first.
For those on Gulf Coast - if you had to choose only two varieties most likely to do well - what would they be?
