Re: Plantain (cooking banana) for Zone 8b?
Is the nursery still in business? If not, ignore the following. But why can't you go back and ask them where they obtained this plant? Sure, they may have lost a tag but they know who their vendors were a couple of years ago. (They'd better have records back that far--IRS thinks they should.) I doubt more than a couple of growers supplied them with musas; asking those suppliers what they produce is a start. If your nursery grew the plant on site and it grows well in your area, they would have harvested from the mother during this time I suspect. Or at the least have a hanging bunch you could photograph. If you post a picture of your 3 footer someone (not me) may be able to dismiss it as being a Namwah.
