Jarred, long story behind them and I'll PM you on it but ... long story short. After a prolonged "buying period" I got 3 from a nursery in Hilo last September and one lived over the winter. It's doing great and I've already sent a pup to Mitchel, next one goes to Brent in Texas. It's throwing out tons of pups and unlike my other bananas , I want to get as many pups to people around the country to keep this particular variety going so I'm letting them get bigger than I would on my other plants before removing them. This is from a month ago and it's in a 25 gallon pot and will go in the ground next spring.
