Thank you! I now have three separate bunches o' nanas ripening (all either Dwarf Brazilian or Becky's Mystery.) And the little Dwarf Nam Wah seems to be holding it own. Given all the rain we had (and are having this morning!) I seem to spend my life weeding or battling the bees who really do not want me to clean out the greywater line in front of their hive. But I think my last Gros Michel will be coming down soon, sniff. Age has its benefits (senior discounts!) but being unable to handle the supports required by enormous banana plants is not one of them.
