Thanks very much for the reply. Have you any knowledge of these being grown in Florida?

As far as I can tell we have an ideal climate with sun, and rain in abundance, our only shortfall as far as bananas go is lack rich fertile soil. Luckily I have a "decent" soil which has proven itself suitable.

Hopefully these will fruit and add a bit of color to my otherwise monotone garden :-)
