Hello everyone!
I joined a few weeks ago but am just now taking the time to introduce myself. Please excuse me as my dad is very ill and his needs come first. I live in central South Carolina, USA. Bananas are just one of the many interests I enjoy. My current stock of banana varieties include: Dwarf Cavendish, Dwarf Namwah, Dwarf Orinoco, Dwarf Red, Double Mahoi, Blue Java, Rajapuri. Some other interests are: Citrus, Japanese persimmons, Pineapple Guava, I keep my tropicals in a heated greenhouse that I built this fall. I also have many other plants in the greenhouse too numerous to name at this time. I am enjoying reading the posts and looking at everyone's photos. I am really glad I found this forum, and look forward to getting know everyone and learning all I can about bananas. |

Welcome! Ladybug2.
I envy you that you have a greenhouse. I'm in Georgia; hard to grow any fruit trees indoors. Nice to have you with us. Rae from Georgia, 7B

Re: New Member
What a warm welcome! Thank you for your gracious hospitality.
My dad is in Anniston, Ala. I have to travel every week to check on him. He is 87 and near death. He is at peace and ready to go (his words) and I am at peace also. It truly is a privilege to care for the one who gave you life. It is part of the circle of life. Thank each of you for your kind words. I didn't mean to start a post about family. I have worked in the plant industry for several years and I have found that within that environment there are some of the most loving and considerate people. Your kind responses continue to re-enforce that finding.  |

On the citrus, I currently have: Sanbokan Lemon (own root) Parson Brown Orange (own root) Ponderosa Lemon (own root) Variegated Calamondin on Flying dragon rootstock Variegated Citron on FD rootstock Hirado Butan pummelo on FD and cuttings of the same Croxton grapefruit (on Swingle stock) Juanita tangerine (on Swingle stock) Owari Satsuma (on Swingle) Swingle rootstock seedlings Flying Dragon rootstock (+ fifty baby seedlings just coming up) Miho sweet orange on Flying Dragon rootstock about 30 Sunburst seedlings 1 year old Meyer Lemon cuttings (own root) Thornless Key Lime (own root cuttings) Buddha's Hand Citron (cuttings and on FD rootstock) I am pretty sure there are a couple more, I can't remember them all at this moment. You can catch me on the Citrus Growers forum as :citrusgalore They also have a page for "other fruit beside citrus" and I find that many of them also have bananas. In fact, that is how I got started. I purchased my first two Namwah's from a member there. |
