I joined this forum several years ago. What started as a citrus tree growing hobby quickly turned into a banana growing hobby when I thought, "Heck, why not!" Fast forward to 2021 and my husband recently took a job in Edinburg, Texas. I am packing like a maniac and all that is really on my brain is how in the world am I going to relocate my banana plants?!?! Currently I have a bunch of bananas on my Saba that will ripen around August (my second Saba bunch) which is really exciting but I am hoping to be in a house by then...sooooo I have close to 40 banana plants, 26 different varieties (and you all know how that goes...a few of them I have been able to identify and others remain mystery plants). So here is the question, if you are reading this and are an active participant on this site, your banana plants are like family...so how would you get them from PA to TX? I am open to any and all suggestions!
Hoping to be a banana farmer in growing zone 10 if all goes well.
