Default Re: Blue Java Variegated

If I recall correctly, I decided about four years ago that it was crazy to ever pay more than $50 for a banana and said I'd never do that. Maybe about three years ago I bought my first Ae Ae for about $200. Then, when I found a source for two large ones standing about six feet tall for $100 each, I bought both of them. Then I found one on eBay that wasn't getting enough respect so I bought it for about $125. They are now all dead!!! Maybe if I buy a place in Nicaragua someday I'll try an Ae Ae again but, for now, a variegated Ice Cream seems like a good option for my climate.

Andreas, you should be warm enough to grow Ae Ae. Check out Green Thumb nursery to see if they have any more $49 bargains.
