She recently told me she's always wanted to grow Plantain, lucky for me last year I was able to find a grower in Puerto Rico to sell me a corm and ship it to me and it survived the winter storm.
Check out this plantain pup with a huge chunk of corm I dug for her
I also gave her a couple of nice Dwarf Cavendish pups
I'm super stoked! We're going to have to take turns taking a look at each others bananas now 
Oh yeah and you better believe I'm going to try and convince her to grow more varieties once the rest of mine pup  |
That's awesome, nothing like sharing a passion with family. And those are some very nice looking pups. Your mom is lucky to have a direct supplier
I am trying to convince my mom to take a basjoo pup...I would even take care of it for her. She loves baked fish and uses a ton of tinfoil in that pursuit. My wife suggested she try banana leaves instead....heck yeah!! We might convince her yet!
