Hello!

I am brand new to the world of banana plants and after a little research I purchased a Gros Michel from a forum member. I got it in August or so of 2017, little tiny fella. Potted him then had to bring him in for the winter as we had a pretty cold winter for Louisiana. I wasnt able to safely put him in the ground until April and he is finally taking off. Didnt grow too much over the winter as I didnt use grow lights so it didnt get too big for the house. But its growing so much every day, amazing that you can see the growth happening day over day. And I have 5 sword suckers that sprung up in the last week as well! Plants for friends and family!

There are many more varieties I want to try, but I have a typical small suburbia yard and have limited space for them. I will plan it out and hope to have 3 or 4 different types in the end.

My new obsession = BANANAS!
