Looking for Banana growers located in the UK!!

n8-r · 08-12-2026, 09:07 PM

Hi, are there any Banana growers here on the forum that are located in the UK? I'm planning on spending some time in the UK, London area and will be building a greenhouse and need to find a lot of Banana plants, pups, corms to purchase and will be willing to travel a bit in the UK to pick up for large established plants especially if there are a bunch available to buy. The main varietys I'm looking for is Dwarf and Tall Namwah and Dwarf Brazillian. Orinoco would be cool also. Any leads to uk nurseries that might have some for sale is also greatly appreciated. I've found a couple online but not sure what else is out there for options.

I have quite a nice Banana collection growing here in Utah, and was considering just getting certificates and ship a bunch of my smaller plants and some large corms to the UK but that seems like it would be expensive and a hassle if I can find some good sources already there. Much appreciated for any help or ideas!

It'll be around October and it would also be awesome to network with any local UK Banana growing enthusiasts! I've got some really cool stuff planned and going to be looking for people who might be interested in the project.
