Default Re: Some people hate banana plants

Just offered a banana plant to my neighbor across the street. He's a long time Florida guy originally from Virginia. Nice guy in every way, but the look on his face was of utter revulsion. Like I had said something real bad about his truck or his dog. He's the type.

It seems like it is a socio economic/class/thirdworld percieved thing all rolled together. My uncle Frank grew bananas in Florida 40 years ago and I am too! Period, end of discussion!
