Default Re: The insanity begins...

Finally made it to Going Bananas. Don the owner took me on a tour of his nursery on a golf cart. It was great to finally make it there and pick up some great plants. Picked up the following varieties:

Orinoco
Hua Moa
Mona Lisa
Raja Puri
Praying Hands
Dwarf Namwa
Kandrian

First up to be planted is the Kandrian. This variety is incredibly large! They have some mats at Fairchild botanic garden that are amazing! I have never seen such tall bananas with thick bases.

The site. Added lots of compost and manure to the mostly sandy soil.


Kandrian planted in center. Others are burro, manzano, and goldfinger.
