Introduction and a question.....
Hello! I am obviously a new member to this board. I was sent an e-mail by Jarred (MediaHound) telling me about the board over here. I am glad to be a part of bananas.org. I live in Greenwood, S.C., and I enjoy all tropical plants, including palms and cycads. I bought my first three banana plants this Spring, a musa basjoo, a Musella Lasiocarpa, and a Musa Acuminata Super Dwarf Cavendish. I planted the musa basjoo in the ground, and wow, does it grow fast! I already have two "pups" coming up next to it! I put the Musella Lasiocarpa in a really big pot, but I think that I could have put it in the ground too because I was told that it would come back in the Spring. The super dwarf is in a pot on my patio for now, but I will take it in before we get our first frost (probably around the middle of next month.) I would like to get more solid zone 8a bananas to go in my yard. What other varieties would grow well year after year for me? Thanks, and it is great being here!
