Default Re: My Canadian Bananas and Tropicals

toronto

i work outdoors and in peoples backyards so i have seen bananas scattered across the city.. but none as big in the beaches neighbourhood of toronto with 2 huge bananas in a front yard

ive gone through 2 winters so far... this winter i kept the plants in containers and put them under lights.. spider mites wreaked havoc on my lasiocarpa.. DC seem stunted but ok..
last winter i washed all soil off the corms and stored dry rolled in newspaper but a flood in the basement caused half of my varieties to die

bought my first banana at a supermarket in niagara and the rest at rice road nuseries...

bought other tropicals from flora exotica once i was hooked!


ever had fruit?
