Thank you all. What a warm welcome.
Orinocos & Blue Javas! huh? Where do I find out more about getting and growing them? Soil treatment, etc.

I would like to fill a small orchard in the property next door. There is one pine tree, and some wild oleander - that I could remove (not the pine). It seems they need rich loose soil and lots of water. Correct? With our grey water system I don't think that would tax us too much. And we are composting on site.

Momoese, maybe you have some specific LA info and 'pups' as it were.
What varieties do you recommend?
ps. I posted a few pictures for anyone who can identify these bananas in my yard.
cheers
