I'm a new member in Marietta, Georgia, on the north side of Atlanta, border between 7B/8A. I've been gardening in an actual yard for three years now, and I try to add something new every year (last year was a rhubarb experiment) and this year seems to be bananas. I will be trying Velutina, Dwarf Orinoco, California Gold, Blue Java (if labeled correctly), two little Viente Cohol, and a sizeable pup from a clump of bananas that my South Georgia family has been passing around since at least the 60's. Not sure what it is, but its worked for my family in a lot of areas, I remember it having bananas about every other year growing up in Augusta.

This forum has been very helpful, and I feel like it has helped me (and will continue to help me) make informed choices in my new experiment - thank you!
