Hi guys!

André, from the North of France, happily growing Musa sikkimensis for the time being since last may.
I think I live in a USDA zone 7a/7b.
I always thought I could only grow ornamental bananas, but discovered this year that I could give a try at some edible ones.
So... The first one is a sikkimensis, that will hopefully give me some bananas next year (depending on the winter I'm afraid), and the next ones will be a Blue Java, and a Rajapuri (still looking for nice price in Europe).
For the time being, my banana "tree" is next to my veranda, making the most of the heat coming from the concrete foundation slab at night.
He drinks a lot, and grows like there is no tomorrow.

I'm happy to have found this place.
