Hello, another Newbie here
 

I visited your website looking for info on dwarf bananas and have been enjoying everything that I read all day. I'm in a small apartment, so dwarfs are all I can handle. I've been growing super dwarf cavendish bananas for about 5 years now, and just popped my head outside today (it's actually sunny here) to buy a zebrina. Its about 2.5 feet tall. It looks a bit sad, two main pseudo stems are thin and only supporting two leaves each. The stems are mottled burgandy, brown, cream. But there are two new suckers, so it should survive my best intentions. Now, if the power company can just keep the electricity on in winter storms we've got it made! (I lost my first super dwarf last year, four years old, in a three day outage, temps fell to 34 deg. F inside), Brrrrrr. Anyway, hello from near Seattle.

Hi NanaNut2! I think near Seattle is one of the most beautiful places in the U.S..... we used to live in Gig Harbor. Had to pay higher rent as we had a view of the Sound from our duplex. And we DID have a view..... if you pressed your face against one of the upstairs bedroom windows, on a clear day and looked sideways! LOLOLOL

Sounds like you're already enjoying the forum .... welcome!

I know that view ... lol. If I walk 100 feet I can see 2 inches of the Sound between two buildings on a clear day ... lol. Rent does tend to cut into my addiction for exotic tropicals, though. Thank you for the welcome!
