Is this really the first thread in this forum? I love banana plants. I only recently discovered that there are so many different kinds. I think the vanilla one would be my favorite, flavorwise. The only bananas I have growing are the standard kind everyone plants in TX (I don't even know the species yet). They haven't fruited yet but they have grown to 6 and 9 feet respectively and the 9-footer has 3 shoots coming up next to it. They were both planted last October. In the spring they were shooting out a new leaf every week but we've been having a drought the last 6 weeks and they haven't grown in about a month, despite water and fertilizer about every 3 days. I hope they fruit next year!
